[comp.text.tex] dvips 5.4 *release*

rokicki@Neon.Stanford.EDU (Tomas G. Rokicki) (11/24/90)

The release version of dvips 5.4 is on labrea.stanford.edu and
neon.stanford.edu, in ~ftp/pub.  The files are:

   dvips54.tar.Z   - includes dvips source, PSlatex.
   dvipslib.tar.Z  - includes VF and TFM files for PS fonts
   dvipsafm.tar.Z  - includes AFM files for common PS fonts

This is the *release* version---I do not plan further changes.
If any bugs are found and fixes must be made, they will be
released as diff files and only as diff files.  This version
has been in beta test for six months and I've invested massive
amounts of time (as have the beta testers and other contributors.)

I am always happy to answer any questions, but I will no longer
answer any questions about versions prior to 5.4; if you are
using dvips, get 5.4.

This version includes a 32-page manual; please read the manual
carefully before asking questions.  (A ps version of the manual
is available in the same places as dvips.ps.Z; it should print
on virtually anything.)

Please distribute this version of the program as widely as possible.
No major changes or new features will be added until summer of
1991, earliest.

Enjoy!
