[comp.unix.ultrix] dvips for PMAX

grunwald@foobar.colorado.edu (Dirk Grunwald) (09/12/89)

I've been trying to install Rokicki's dvips, version 3.9, on a PMAX
and am getting nowhere fast. I picked it up from labrea.stanford.edu
this morning.

This version appears to assume a non-VAX byte ordering; has anyone
patched this for the PMAX? I have an older version of dvips (0.93)
that works just fine.

I also tried w_dvi2ps from june.cs.washington.edu, and it too suffered
from byte order problems.

I want to continue to use Rokicki's dvips because it supports tpic and
psfig and PK fonts.

Any pointers to a working version of dvips gladly pursued.

A simple bug introduced probably by one of the many file transfers I
put this thing through; from now on, I'm only transferring the
compressed version for data integrity.  Anyway, grab 391 from labrea.
