Dear Joerg,

Let's see now...

    I've got a bunch of questions concerning iv, life and everything...

42, of course.

    code like

    (
        Hbox(...),
    );

    ... gets a nice compiler (parser) error from g++

And so it should.  Unfortunately, AT&T C++ blithely ignores the bogus
comma.  Several of them (a by-product of cut-and-paste editing) snuck
past in earlier versions of the tutorials.  Sorry.

    found some TeX docs and some postscript tutorials tut1.ps,
    tut2.ps which our QMS Laser doesn't like to print

If you could finger just what construct our dvi2ps is generating
that's causing your printer grief, then many others would thank you.
Lots have reported this same problem.

    Is there a newer release of iv available?

We are now in 3.0-beta release.  You can ftp all the latest goodies
from interviews.stanford.edu (36.22.0.175).
