If your main worry is MS-DOS, the DVIHPLJ program in the emTeX package appears to be a good choice. It's available from ymir.claremont.edu among other places. Unfortunately, the sources aren't available. The DVIJEP program from the University of Utah works for LaserJet II as well as a LaserJet Plus. The sources are available on science.utah.edu and ymir.claremont.edu as far as I know. TUGboat 11.4 (Nov 1990) reports DVIJE2 as a variant of DVIJEP optimized for a LaserJet II, and available from ymir.claremont.edu. Although I've used LaserJet Plus and a LaserJet II a few times, most of my laserprinter experience has actually been with an Apple LaserWriter instead, since that's what my department owns. The department next door involving with lots of font development, on the other hand, has LaserJet models and makes their fonts available in that format. :-) I hope this information helps. TUGboat is a good resource--if you're at all serious about using TeX or LaTeX, you should join TUG just for TUGboat if nothing else! -- Stephen McConnel PHONE: 214-709-2418 Summer Institute of Linguistics UUCP: ...!{convex|utafll}!txsil!steve 7500 W.
