I've been trying to install Rokicki's dvips, version 3.9, on a PMAX
and am getting nowhere fast. I picked it up from labrea.stanford.edu
this morning.

This version appears to assume a non-VAX byte ordering; has anyone
patched this for the PMAX? I have an older version of dvips (0.93)
that works just fine.

I also tried w_dvi2ps from june.cs.washington.edu, and it too suffered
from byte order problems.

I want to continue to use Rokicki's dvips because it supports tpic and
psfig and PK fonts.

Any pointers to a working version of dvips gladly pursued.
