   Does anyone have any advice on how one can get a .dvi file from a Sun
   (in my case) to a VMS VAX in a non-mangled fashion - i.e. so that the
   file can be generated on the Sun but printed on the Vax? (We
   have ftp/binary - I presume the problem is in byte orderings etc? Is
   the problem even tractable?). Thanks.

I used binary ftp to transfer the .dvi and never had any problems. Yes, it
is from a SUN 4 to VAX/VMS. Then QTEX and print the .Q file (in my case).
