We have a TeX DVI to QMS driver (called DVILG8) that I think used
to come on the standard TeX distribution tape.  It uses .PK format
font files but wants the directory structure to be like the 'old'
one, namely .1500 for magstep0, .1642 for magstephalf etc.  I can't
seem to figure out if there is a way to change this, since all I can
find is the executable.  There are no obvious logical variables that
it looks at, either.  (BTW, this is on a VAX/VMS system).

The new TeX distribution from Northlake (formerly Kellerman & Smith)
does not have a QMS driver.  Is there a DVI-QMS800 driver in the
public domain (or at a reasonable price) that would allow us to have
a directory structure of the form [...300] for magstep0, [...329] for
magstephalf etc.?

Has anyone adapted the Beebe drivers to the QMS800?

I have seen queries here in the past for DVI-QMS drivers but have yet to
see a reply.

Thanks for any information.
