I have a compressed tar file for dvi2nec if anyone is interested.  I
don't think the author has ftp access--this was the second posting of
his dvi2nec so perhaps it is archived somewhere.  I found, by the way,
that it ran slower than it should have on the 3b1.  I was investigating
this when my machine died (gcc sped it up some, but left a black line
down one side).

It may not be exactly what you need, but perhaps close?  I'm not sure
what the Epson, NEC 24 pin differences are for bitmapped images.

Note that you'll want to create 360 dpi font files.  I don't know what
the Mittlebach font scheme is, but I had to recreate all the fonts
using meta-font.  I chose to do this on a Sun rather than on the 3b1.

Is everyone switching from Ed Hepler's TeX to Andy Fyfes?  Andy's
previewer, by the way, is *very* good (IMHO).  Can't wait to get may
3b1 running again so I can TeX away!
