[comp.sys.atari.st] Metafile --> DVI

While I'm on the subject of conversion programs, is there an ST
program that will convert from Metafiles to DVI?

    Assumably GEM metafiles and not IBM metefiles (similar but not quite) or 
DISSPLAY metafiles (really different!)

This solution may be a little `round the houses', but you could use the GEM2PS
utility to convert the metafile to PostScript, and use dvips to convert your
.DVI file.  Of course, this only works if you have access to a PostScript
printer...  :-)

GEM2PS can be found on atari.archive (I think) and dvips can be found virtually
ANYWHERE!  I've not tested GEM2PS, but I use dvips every day.
