Archive-name: auto/comp.os.os2.misc/uploads-dvidvi-dvips-flip

I have uploaded the following files to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu:

flip1os2.zip   Rahul Dhesi's newline conversion program
dvidvi.zip    	Rokicki's dvi-to-dvi translator (select pages, two-up,...)
dvips549.zip   Rokicki's dvips 5.490, see also Sinha's 2.0 port

These were compiled with MSC 6.00A, and will run under OS/2 1.3 and
2.0.  dvips is a bound executable (so will also run under MSDOS); 
separate bound executables are included for flip and dvidvi.  
Programs were not tested under OS/2 1.1--1.2, but probably will work
under 1.2.


Notes:
1. I do not completely understand why Dhesi used the
findfirst/findnext calls, as they require somewhat fancy coding due
to the nature of flip. I used setargv.obj to provide globbing and
long filenames. Comments welcomed.


2. dvidvi from labrea definitely has problems. It says it is ready for
MSC 6, but see my README.OS2 file. In addition, one of the '#ifdef
SHORTINT' has the cases incorrect. Redirection should now work.

  Samir Varma (varmint@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu) 
for "beta-test" reports.


3. dvips549 was created from the nice OS/2 2.0 port by Gyan P. Sinha
(gyan@unixg.ubc.ca) posted to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/2.0/emtex/.
Sinha's file should also be obtained, as my archive includes only the
makefile, link def's, and executables. It should be noted that I am a
dvips neophyte.


4. Bug-reports and success-reports welcomed!
