[comp.text.tex] Versatec driver for DVI files

alpha@hubcap.clemson.edu (Shekhar Borde') (01/19/91)

Firstly I apologize if this sound like a silly question. (My use and
therefore knowledge of TeX is quite limited).

I have been trying to install a Versatec driver for DVI files. This comes under
the laser-setters/umd-dvi directory in the TeX distribution. Running `make'
produces two binaries(verser1 & verser2) and a shellscript(dvipr).

One of the statements in the shellscript is :

         verser1 $flags $dvifile | spool -d versatec -verser2 -t "$title"

Obviously `verser1' is run over the input DVIfile and the output is piped
to `verser2'. `spool' is probably some kind of a spooler for the Versatec
plotter.
 
My problem is the error message :

		sh: spool: not found

Does anyone have any idea what `spool' is and where I can find it. If you
do, please E-mail me your responses.

Many thanks in advance
