See the following message:

    Subject: dvi2ps, version 3

    Announcing yet another version of dvi2ps. (Oh no, not again....)

    The good news: It's fundamental virtue is that it is an attempt to merge 
    the plethora of existing versions. It contains (most of) the features of 
    the following versions:

	    Author			Version
	  ___________________________________
	    Peter Damron		2.10gf
	    Larry Denenberg		2.30
	    Jing-bai Wang		1.12
	    Van Jacobson		1.18
	    Greg Lee		2.10.30
	    Tony Li			2.12
	    Piet van Oostrum	2.48
	  ___________________________________

    A short list of the features:
     - correct positioning algorithm
     - (slightly) faster PostScript
     - customizable user setup file
     - flexible font directory organization
     - PK, GF, or PXL fonts
     - builtin PostScript fonts
     - asian fonts (jis, chfont)
     - PostScript scaling of substituted fonts
     - Virtual Memory management
     - flexible page specification
     - Trevor Darrell's psfig/TeX \special's
     - raw PostScript \special's

    Availability:
	    A beta test version is available by anonymous ftp from
    tut.cis.ohio-state.edu,  under the name  pub/dvi3ps.tar.Z.
    (It's location here is temporary; it should eventually be moved
    to pub/tex/dvi3ps.tar.Z.) The same version will become available
    (soon, I hope) from june.cs.washington.edu, under the name
    tmp/dvi3ps.tar.Z.

    Kindly send bug reports or enhancements to:

	    Kevin Coombes, University of Michigan
	    <kevin@math.lsa.umich.edu>

In Europe, you may get the file from praxis.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.6],
filename TEX/dvi3ps.tar.Z
