[comp.sys.next] dvips as a filter

gil@daffy.gatech.edu (Gil Neiger) (01/17/90)

Does anyone have a hacked up version of dvips that correctly works as a
filter?  The documentation specifies that if no file name is given on the
command line, then stdin is used instead, and if the -f option is given,
then the output is also sent to stdout.  However, dvips only works as such
if stdin is seekable, which means that it does *not* work if the input to
dvips is through a pipe, e.g., the output of something like dviselect.
