To create a new mode for METAFONT on the NeXT: 1. Edit /usr/lib/mf/inputs/next.mf; copy one of the existing modes and make your changes; give it a new name. For instance, copy the DD mode_def, change dots_per_inch to 72, and give it the name iwII. 2. Execute the following commands to install the new modes: inimf "plain; input next; dump" cp plain.base /usr/lib/mf/bases/mf.base This last command may need to be executed as super user; also, the file name *might* be plain.base in /usr/lib/mf/bases; see what is there and use that. (This may have changed from 1.0 to 2.0.) 3. Now we want to tell dvips the magic to use. Create a file called /usr/lib/tex/ps/config.iwII containing the lines D 72 M iwII 4. Invoke dvips as `-P iwII' (which will make it load config.iwII), or add the lines above to config.ps to make it the default. At the present time, to print from TeXview, you will have to use -P iwII as a `special option' in the string gadget provided for this. That's all it takes! -tom
