[fa.laser-lovers] dvi to ln03

I don't remember where I got the dvi-to-ln03 file and can't find the
mail message where Rick told me where to get it.  Any help Rick?

In any case the stuff can be had via anonymous FTP on HARVARD.  Please
access during off peak hours only.  The main file is a shell archive,
~ftp/vms/dvi2ln03.sh.  I have unpacked the archive into the directory
~ftp/vms/dvi2ln03.

The program runs on VMS and is written in PL/1 and WEB.  I haven't
tried the package yet, since we don't have a PL/1 compiler.
Conversion to run on UNIX should be simple (if you have a PL/1
compiler for UNIX).

Which brings up a question, Does anyone have a PL/1 to anything else
(Pascal? C? Bliss?) translator?

[[Editor's note: The program came from the Stanford VMS TeX
distribution, courtesy of David Fuchs at Stanford.  I don't know who
contributed it to the VMS distribution originally.  If you do convert
the program to Unix, *please* let me know as soon as possible.  We do
not have a LN03 TeX driver in the Unix TeX distribution and I'd like
to have one.  My address is Furuta@Washington.  It'd be best if the
PL/I stuff got recoded into C or Pascal.		--Rick ]]

The DVI->LN03 driver we have for VMS was contributed by Flavio Rose of
DEC.  It's available for public FTP from SU-SCORE::<TEX.LN03>, as well
as on our VMS distribution tape.

p.s. Flavio recently sent an updated version that will soon be put
on said directory and tape.
