[comp.text.tex] Recommendations for a DVItoPS for VMS

msd@enh.nist.gov (M. Scott Dewey) (11/19/90)

Dear Experts,

Finally at long last we have postscript capability.  Now I'd like to start
using the best DVI-to-postscript program available for VMS.  According to
"Frequently Asked Questions", the following are available:

   Four very nice DVI to PostScript conversion programs that run
   under Unix are:

     dvitps
     dvi3ps
     dvips
     dvitops

   Of the above drivers, dvitops will compile under Unix, MSDOS, VMS,
   and Primos and dvips will probably port very easily (patches to
   dvips 5.02 for MSDOS are available from labrea.stanford.edu in
   ./pub/dvips502pc.tar.Z). The first two programs would be difficult 
   to port to something other than Unix.

I seem to recall having had trouble trying to get dvitops to work, but that
was long ago.  Does anyone have recommendations for a version of
DVI-to-postscript that does a great job under VMS?  I will summarize if
enough people respond.

Thanks!
