[comp.text.tex] dvips54 for msdos

MAMGC@CUNYVM (Martin Moskowitz) (12/21/90)

Can anyone direct me to an FTP site from which I can obtain a
precompiled version of dvips54 for msdos?

Try: anonymous ftp to monu1.cc.monash.edu.au, directory pub,
file dvips54.zip.  The file dvipslib.zip is also needed if you wish to
use postscript fonts.

But if you have TurboC 2.0 or TurboC++ 1.0 (or MicroSoft C after some
small changes to the pc/makefile.tc) you can easily compile it
yourself because there is a makefile.tc in the directory dvips/pc!
And this has the benefit of having the sources in case all else fails!

But if you are in North America or further afield, please fetch it 
using anonymous ftp from shape.mps.ohio-state.edu, 
directory pub/msdos/dvips, files dvips54.zip, dvipslib.zip.

monu1.cc.monash.edu.au is in Australia, on the end of a heavily 
loaded satellite link.  fetching files from a closer site is
always preferred.

Just a warning for the people who are searching for the
new version(ver.5.4). The above one is old one(ver. 5.399 or ver 5.4 B).
I spent lot of time in downloading this and found that it is the same one
that I got 6 months ago. Moreover, the zip files are not organized.
If you are going to ftp the 5.4 beta version, I recommend you to ftp
terminator.cc.umich.edu rather than ...ohio....

Does anyone know where the new dvips54 (not Beta verion) binaries 
for MS-DOS are ?
