[comp.text.tex] bug in dvips5.02

There is a small bug in dvips5.02 which bit someone here last night.
The environment variable TEXINPUTS is looked at for (inter alia) a
path to locate included PostScript figures. As a result, the variable
`figpath' is changed. Unfortunately, in output.c, figpath is never
actually looked at, only the symbols FIGPATH which is set with -D in
the Makefile.... easy to fix for a future release. I haven't checked
the other environment variables.
