Many >thanks. --PR The dvi2ps man page has, for almost a year now, contained this: Complain about this man page - thank you. Nobody ever has, so I've tried to spend my time on more worthwhile pursuits :-) The supported special commands should generally be documented in the man pages for the printer drivers. e.g. tcan300(8), dvi2ps(1). Generally the \special documentation is not that hot. If you're looking for something in particular, or have some special need (sorry) let me know.
