"    Is there a newer version of a DVI to Postscript converter out there
"    anywhere?

Yes.  A version of dvi2ps by Piet van Oostrum has some useful
new features.  I will have yet another version soon -- I'm working
out what I hope are the last few bugs.

Following is an excerpt from the README of van Oostrum's version,
and after that some notes on getting it by ftp.

Notes by Piet van Oostrum:

I added support for BSD4.1 and changed the dvi2ps program to read PK files
rather than PXL files (the files are generated by the Metafont Utilities).
I also added code to calculate VM usage. The program does not download fonts
if the VM is low. In that case individual bitmaps are loaded on a character
basis and removed immediately after printing. I also restructured the DVI.PS
file to improve the VM usage.

To use the VM limiting feature compile with -DBUDGET=estimated VM value in
bytes.
To use builtin fonts compile with -DBUILTIN.
You can then define the fonts e.g. with \font\palatino=p-rom at 12pt
See the file palatino.sty for equivalent latex style options.

This version allows you to put the PXL or PK files in a different directory
than the tfm files. In that case if you use the TEXFONTS environment
variable, you must specify both directories in it.

Note added by Matt Crawford:

A patch sent by Piet van Oostrum on 14 Sep 1987 has been applied
to dvi2ps.c.
