Oh my god!!  Another version?!!  I hope that there is someone to
coordinate all these versions.  We alone have 3 versions of dvi2ps.
Normally the most recent has 2.11 as version number.

|  rather than PXL files (the files are generated by the Metafont Utilities).

It's a shame that Piet van Oostrum did not add his interesting
modifications to the latest dvi2ps!  For example, dvi2ps already
accepts PK and GF font files and in seperate directories.

Is someone (Piet?) willing to create dvi2ps 2.12?  Maybe, it already exists.
