Dominic Wujastyk asked recently for someone to make an MSDOS binary of
Rokicki's dvips available. I have compiled it (lucky I found a Turbo C
eh - and it's also useful to compile the excellent Ghostscript) and
will happily send it to anyone. Its a BOO-encoded ZIP file, which
contains *only* dvips.exe, afm2tfm.exe, config.ps and makefile.tc (so
you can see what paths are compiled in). This is *NOT* a free-standing
distribution - you need the rest of the material (documentation, tfms,
vfs, PS  prologues etc) from the standard distribution. This is solely
of use to people who don't have a C compiler on their PC. I should say
to those who have access to Turbo C but are scared of being bogged
down in the Makefile that I changed *nothing* but the paths; it was
very neatly packaged (by russell lang, I think).
