Subject: DVIPS/VMS not finding PostScript files

Some versions of dvips under VMS can't find PostScript files because of a
bug in the VMS port.  Specifically, dvips looks in the same place for
PostScript files as TeX looks for input files---or it is supposed to.
Apparently, under VMS, the logical tex$inputs (or whatever the actual
name is) does not by default include the current input path, and TeX
automatically searches the current directory before tex$inputs.  Dvips
under VMS should have the same behavior, but it does not.

The fix should be pretty easy in search.c, but I don't know enough about
VMS at this point to do it . . .
