A DVI filter comes with the TeX UNIX distribution. A general purpose LN03 filter is under /usr/lib/ln03of. I assume you have version 1.2 of Ultrix-32*. > Alternately, we can connect the printer to microvax running VMS.

You can do a 'dcp' of the file to the proper printer on the VMS side, for example: dcp filename vmsnode::lpb0: or dcp -P filename vmsnode::filename Fred
