Turns out yes, and with not much difficulty. I just played with it some, 
and the "letter" command in the /@letter routine was causing some trouble.
I commented that out, and, voila, the files printed...

You should note that the files I was using were generated by
dvi2ps 2.00. The comments in the postscript header indicate "last
modified Aug 25/85."

To preview the output of dvi2ps, you really need
a page-oriented previewer. (My little Yap just doesn't cut it;
it's good for more interactive Postscript use.) A page-oriented
previewer will probably be included in the 0.9 Demos directory.
