Thanks, Doug, for mentioning that.  In fact, your suggested link

> ln -s /NextLibrary/Fonts/TeXFonts /usr/lib/tex/fonts

is what was intended to be on the distribution disk.

A few more comments on the dvips supplied:

- The parameters in the bounding box comment of PostScript files
  produced by dvips are flipped.

- The page numbers in %%Page comments start at 0, not 1.

Neither of these will prevent you from getting the correct printed
output, of course.
