I just installed `tgif' version 1.5 and found it an attractive
program. However, for the benefit of others trying to make it work, I
should point out that there are two flaws in the printing part of it:
 + Encapsulated PostScript rarely has the %%BoundingBox _after_ a
   prolog of declarations. My dvi to PostScript converter (rightly, I
   think) threw up on the file until I moved the %%BB to the top (see
   file.c) 
 + the tgif2ps program manages to delete the %! line whose validity it
   is checking! I just commented out the check.... the absence of it
   makes your average printer vomit some rather wordy PostScript code
   in Courier.
