(I hope this doesn't start a religious war.)
I know of three different dvi-to-PostScript drivers (specifically, for
the Apple LaserWriter):  dvialw (Beebe), dvi2ps, and dvips, and there
are probably others.  Which is the *best* for including PostScript
figures, etc., directly into TeX/LaTeX via \special{} command
extensions?  What are the most recent versions of each?

I will want to run the "winner" on Sun 3's (4.2BSD Unix).

Much thanks,					Martin Wittmann
