I have a paper in 'dvi' format. How can it be converted to Postscript format (or *roff) for my Laserwriter?

It is the DeVice Independant format produced by the TeX typesetting program. It can be converted to PostScript by using dvialw or dvips. Sorry, can't point you to a source. I know that the latter is at least partially made by Knuth. -- /* * * Otto J.

"dvips" which IMHO is the most convenient (and worked better than others for me) can be FTP'ed from 'labrea.stanford.edu' - look for 'dvi538.tar.Z' or something like that. -- Regards, Uri Blumenthal uri@ibm.com,angmar!uri ====================================================== <Disclaimer>

In the cases I have investigated, one was required to track down and to try to figure out how to install TeX fonts before being able to use dvi to postscript type programs. Does anyone know of a) a way around that or b) a package which describes how to do that? I mean, one may have a LOT of postscript fonts around - it seems silly to have to have a bunch of fonts around that you cannot use other than in one little package. -- Larry W.

All dvi*ps programs I know allow use of inbuilt PostScript fonts rather than Computer Modern. In particular dvips (available by anonymous FTP from labrea.stanford.edu) has this facility, and describes in the manual how to use it (Section 5: Using PostScript Fonts). The inbuilt Symbol font is inadequate for mathematics, so people usually use the cmsy* fonts for this; there is no problem in mixing PostScript and CM fonts. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: tim@maths.tcd.ie
