Seems I periodically ask this question in different flavors, but this time
I think I have exactly the requirements I need.

I am looking for a version of DVIPS that works on the VAX/VMS system, BSD
and SysV. I have been extremely successful in using Beebe's DVIPS (DVIALW)
program, however, the version I am using has limitations.

Here are the things I am looking for:

(1) Work on VAX/VMS, BSD and SysV. I am trying to make this available on
    a wide variety of platforms. Currently, I have hosted TeX/LaTeX to
    VAX, Convex, Sun and SGI.

(2) Allow the use of PostScript fonts. I have tfm files for the PostScript
    fonts.

(3) Allow the inclusion of PostScript files. I really like psfig, and have
    used it with Arbortext DVIPS (a real good product).

(4) MACINTOSH POSTSCRIPT FIGURES. This is usually the area I have problems in.
    I have modified version of LaserPrep68 (and others), and would like to
    include PostScript pictures from the Macintosh. It seems everytime I
    have tried this, and have printed to an Apple LaserWriter, I get a 
    blank page and then the picture. I have not had this problem with other
    LaserWriters.

    I would be extremely interested in hearing from anyone who is using
    a PD DVIPS program, and is successfully using psfig with LaserPrep 68.

(5) I have had some DVI programs complain about the tfm files I have (the
    Beebe one has not). I am not sure if they (tfm files) are out of date,
    of the file format is not correct for them. This has primarily occurred
    on the VMS system.

That is all I can think about for now. I can summerize to the net.
