[comp.sources.wanted] Public-domain DVI to PostScript translator wanted.

drk@athena.mit.edu (David R Kohr) (11/19/89)

I'm looking for the source code for a public-domain DVI (output from
the TeX typesetting language processor) to PostScript translator.  If
someone knows where such a thing can be obtained, could that person
please send me e-mail, or post a reply on comp.sources.wanted.

Thanks,

I use (and very satisfied with it) dvips 4.2 (from T. Rokicki).
It's PD and acn be FTP'd (if I remember) from 

	labrea.stanford.edu        dvips42.tar.Z (somewhere)

It doesn't has font substitution, and the font searching path is standard,
but IT CAN GENERATE FONTS MISSED, if you have MetaFont installed, and the
MF sources for the fonts (yeah, it will take care about magsteps, and so
on).  It works without hacking.
