There seems to be at least four commonly used public domain dvi->ps
print drivers for Unix boxes.  There also seem to be a number of
tools that make it easy to create and include drawings and diagrams
in TeX, dvi, and PS files.

It seems to be a shame that everyone has done their own dvi2ps driver
with their own extensions, fixes, and improvements.  I am trying to
make a list of about various drivers:

	* What features the driver has?
	* Where the driver can be ftped from?

I am also looking for info on drawing tools, pre/post-processing tools,
etc for drawings and figures.

I will be happy to post a summary after I get responces.  It would
be nice to try and merge the various versions of dvi2ps back into
a single driver that would replace the current dvi2ps on the Unix-TeX
dist.
