Some versions of dvips under VMS can't find PostScript files because of a bug in the VMS port. Specifically, dvips looks in the same place for PostScript files as TeX looks for input files---or it is supposed to. Apparently, under VMS, the logical tex$inputs (or whatever the actual name is) does not by default include the current input path, and TeX automatically searches the current directory before tex$inputs. Dvips under VMS should have the same behavior, but it does not. The fix should be pretty easy in search.c, but I don't know enough about VMS at this point to do it . . . -tom

How about prepending "SYS$DISK:[]" in tex$inputs?
For example:
$ DEFINE TEX$INPUTS SYS$DISK:[],TEX$ROOT:[INPUTS],...

After several tries, I modified MAKE.COM to contain
$ FIGPATH = ",TEX_DVIPS:"
where you are supposed to notice the comma. This tells DVIPS to
try the name just as given. Schemes that used "[]" failed to
find figures specified as "[.figures]figure1.ps"
