The local documentation ... I look forward for someone to review these two program, describe the difference, and tell where the sources are. Thanks. ah the innocence of youth... I am by means an exhaustive expert on these things, but in my short live I have met at least - dvi2ps (in more versions than you care to know about) - dvi3ps (a good attempt at bring together the previous) - dvips (rokicki) - dvitops (clark) - dvitps (bechtolsheim) - dvialw (beebe) which are freely available for Unix people. personally, I would go for dvips or dvitops - I know of no features than one or the other does not support. dvips from labrea.stanford.edu in pub, dvitops from june.cs.washington.edu. sebastian -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
