 ray> I'd guess (not based on privilidged information, and quite possibly wrong)
 ray> that AmigaTeX3.1/post/dvips as an integrated whole will be released
 ray> in early summer. If you want to talk to Tom, his
 ray> address at stanford, rokicki@neon.stanford.edu gets monitored most 
 ray> days, and he always answers his mail, usually very punctually.
