We just built TeX 3.0 on a Convex C220 running OS 9.0.  The programs seem 
to be working okay except for dvitps.  We have LaserWriter II's and so are
defining for this in:

 ~tex3.0/DVIware/laser-setters/dvi-to-ps/TeXPS/setup/agouron/local-defs

The only changes we're making to local-defs are:

default PS_RESET_PAGES 8	#reccommended for LWII
default PS_PRINTER_CLASS 1	#ditto

We are moving the dvitps'd file to the Mac with Kermit, and then printing 
with SendPS.  

The printed output is close, but no cigar.  Specifically, we get output
like:

	Pro ect Summarjary
	J			ohn W. Kupec

	Pro ect: Humanj Phospholipase 

Basically, some of the spacings and character placements are off.
I took the dvi file used for input on the Convex and tried printing 
to the same LWII using OzTeX on a Mac.  Output was perfect so dvi is okay.

Any clues as to how to fix?
