Once upon a time the AT&T Documentor's Workbench included macros
explicitly designed for producing overheads (-mv).

However this works much much much better:

	# cd /usr/pkgsrc/textproc/lout; make install

Seriously though you should get the most recent release -- the one in
pkgsrc is vastly out of date and the new release makes some important
lower-level changes that make it much more powerful (new tables, etc.)

Lout has a "slides" document style and though they don't appear by
default to work in landscape mode it's not hard to do such things to any
document in lout (i.e. rotate the galley and adjust the page size as
necessary).
