Verber) Organization: Ohio State University, Physics Department Lines: 24 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. -- Mark A.
