Has anyone ported Stephan v. Bechtolsheim's dvitps program to System V or
MSDOS?  It's on the UnixTeX tape under DVIware, and appears to have been
developed on a Sun (or similar BSD-based Unix system).  Does anyone have
any opinions about how it compares with the other Postscript drivers?  The
only other one i have currently is Beebe's dvialw driver, but i've never
tried using native PostScript fonts or including PostScript figures with
that driver.

Actually, i've spent a couple of days on it and seem to have it running okay
under SCO UNIX/V 3.2, for what it's worth.  However, i'd be happy to adopt
an "official" patch, or to offer my work if nobody else has done so yet.  (The
14-character filename limit of System V irritates me more every day!) :-( :-(
Also, I'll have to clean up my patches a bit to get it work for MSDOS.
