I'm trying to preview TeX output via Preview on my NeXT machine.
I've installed the dvips patches, but I have a small problem:
the resulting previewed bits look terrible.  I'd like to work
at 92dpi (the screen resolution), then later work with the printer.

I've modified the 'nextscreen' mode in waits.mf to indicate 92dpi, not
100.  Now I'd like to produce a plain.base.  I think that I ought to include
plain.mf and waits.mf in the plain.base, but I must be missing something,
because gftopk doesn't generate pk files at the proper magnification.
(I've already hacked MakeTeXPK to accept 92dpi and to invoke Metafont
with a mode of 'nextscreen'.)

Can anybody out there help?
