The Washington distribution tape includes the dvi2ps program. I am using this opportunity to announce my development of a replacement for dvi2ps, called dvips, available from anonymous ftp from rocky.stanford.edu as ~rokicki/dvips.shar.Z. This program generates much smaller files than dvi2ps and runs correspondingly faster. At the moment it does not support any specials or graphics inclusion; help on this would be appreciated. % I read something about Tex's computer modern fonts not being the same as the % LaserWriter's fonts, and having to describe the LW fonts to Tex. This is true. Smart PostScript driving programs allow the use of LaserWriter fonts from TeX; mine currently does not but will soon. Normally, though, you do want to download the TeX fonts. % * Is anyone who has already done the hard work willing to share? % * Any other helpful hints getting VMS Tex and the LaserWriter functioning? If you talk to Kellerman and Smith (who distribute a VMS TeX tape), you might find that their latest tape includes a VMS LaserWriter driver. -tom
