[comp.text] Metafont / DVIPS 4.21 on a decstation

othar@ernie.Berkeley.EDU (Othar Hansson) (12/10/89)

I'm trying to install dvips 4.21 (from labrea) on a DEC 3100.
I am having the following problems:

- on giving it dvips' output, my laserwriter reports that 'bop' is an
undefined command.  The laserwriter successfully prints other
postscript files, however, and 'bop' is certainly 'def'ed in the dvips
header.  Does this error sound familiar to anyone?

- as 'undump' isn't available on the DEC, I can't make 'mf', but only
'inimf'.  Can any Metafont users out there explain to me how to translate
the commands in MakeTeXPK to use inimf rather than mf?

The command looks something like:

  mf "\mode:=$MODE; mag:=$MAG; batchmode; input $FONTNAME"

and I'd like to use something like 'inimf &plain' instead (I think).



Email is best, and I will summarize any help I get.

Thanks,
