While trying to get output from the GoodNeWS drawing tool to my
printer using dvi2ps, I discovered a little problem in the tex.ps
file.
tex.ps uses internally the names /ho and /vo to hold offset
values.
Apparently, the md loaded by our local LaserPrep includes
a /vo which is defined as {/fmv false --def-- ou} as reported
by ehandler.ps. Thus, when attempting to print to a LaserWriter
which has LaserPrep loaded, things get horribly messed up.
By replacing the names "ho" and "vo" with "hoff" and "voff" everywhere
they appear in tex.ps, things work out fine.
Anyone seen this or know what the /vo in md is about?

PS. If anyone's interested, I've fixed up all the mterm stuff
do you can open an terminal on a remote machine, as long as you
have the usual permissions (via .rhosts, etc). In my Terminals
submenu of the root menu, I have an Rsh submenu which pops up a
menu of all my favorite hosts. The patches include the necessary
to kill off TermMonitors that would normally lock up your terminal
connections in the event that the remote host failed to comply, etc.
Mail me if you're interested in such things.
Also, has anyone fixed up the mterm stuff so that it does the
inverse video *right*? Emacs and more screw it up real easy.
