[comp.text.tex] dvi to epson

	Hi!

	I wanted to be able to print latex .dvi files to an epson lx-800
	printer, so I grabed dvieps.arc from simtel and proceeded.
	AArggh! The program crashes, and then any DOS command just says
	'out of memory'. Reboot. Try again. Crash. Check memory: got 1024K
	on a 640K AT?! Then I saw that the program has generated a output
	file, probably truncated, but it may print the first pages. I tried
	to print it. Got lots of white paper and some '#%$&^^%&*' on it.

	Has someone experienced this kind of trouble? Does anyone have the
	source of the program? Does anyone have another program that works?

	I would apreciate all help I can get.


	Technical information:
	I have an AT-386SX with 640K+364K extended (Over the 1Meg) and an
	epson lx-800, a 9-dot matrix printer. I tried MS-DOS 3.3 and 4DOS
	3.01a. Both crashed with the same error. No TSRs loaded other than
	KEYB.COM to change my keyboard to Portuguese.
