   I am switching over from LaTeX'ing mainly on VAX/VMS/LPS20 printer to
   OzTeX'ing on a MacII/ALW-IINTX printer (although I haven't actually
   installed everything yet, in particular, OzTeX itself!).

   Because of some effects I need in my LaTeX output (espf.sty/psfig.sty EPS
   file handling ability and DRAFT overlay), I would like to know if anybody
   has ported Rokicki's dvips to the Mac and if so, where I can get it by ftp
   or other methods.

   Are there other <free> dvi-to-ps drivers for the Mac besides the standard
   OzTeX distribution out there? Likewise, where/how to get them?

   Thank you.

Well, actually OzTeX generates PostScript output (to printer, or to files)
as its default way of printing. In fact, if you want to print to something
other than a PS capable printer, you need dvi72img (or something like
that).  Also, OzTeX makes it rather easy to include PS by means of the
\special command.

All this, and more, are available via anonymous ftp from midway.uchicago.edu,
in /pub/OzTeX (or was it pub/oztex?).

Hope I understood your question,
