There were several reasons for my problems.
1) I only had a copy of dvips502.  That version of the tar archive does
not have a copy of the afm/Makefile.  Once I obtained a copy of dvips50
(with the afm/Makfile) I was able to generate most of the fonts I needed.

2) Several kind readers pointed out that there are latex style files
which set things up to use Postscript fonts. With these, my users at
least have a postscript based latex.

Thanks for the help,
