Hi, I'm using dvijep on an MS-DOS system with an HP IIp, with the printer set to landscape mode. I've reset \hsize and \vsize in TeX to reflect the landscape page dimensions, and it handles this fine, but when I convert my .DVI files to printer output files, dvijep still thinks the page is 8.5 in wide. Thus all output is truncated on the right. (I know that TeX is not cutting the pages off because they are intact when I use a .DVI viewer. Also the printer is not cutting them off.) Is there anything I can do to make dvijep think the page is 11 x 8.5 instead of the other way around? The doc file tells how to reset the location where the material on the page will be placed, but unfortunately makes no mention of a way to adjust the page dimensions. Alternatively, is there another program like dvijep available which can handle variable sized pages, preferably one which uses the same directory structure for fonts (or a landscape version of dvijep for the pc?) Thanks for your help, Kris. -- Kriston M. Bruland | . . . . . . . . . . n8541751@unicorn.cc.wwu.edu | . . . . . . . . . 8541751@nessie.cc.wwu.edu | . . . . . .

The page size maximum is hardwired in during compilation of dvijep in the version I have, 2.10??. Try dvilj from simtel20 msdos.tex for a driver with a landscape option. I've heard the source there is right and the executable screwed up for that file. Clarence Wilkerson

I have been using dvijep with landscape mode for years now, without this problem. Then again, maybe I had to fix it. I got a set of patches to the original dvijep to add landscape mode, and put them in by hand. (It was diff output, but I didn't have any program that would combine them.) If it is compiled in, I may have changed it. Do you have dvijep source?
