Dvips final beta for 5.4 released.

Get dvips533.tar.Z from labrea.stanford.edu, and check it out.  If it

Many, many bug fixes and new features.

An option (-l) to select the last page.
Method for selecting pages whose count0 number occurs more than once.
Added some amount of searching in addition to auto magstep dpi.
Graphics now (optionally) scale with dvimag
Font scaling now supported (yuck.)
S option added to enclose whole document in save/restore
Virtual fonts *fixed*---please install new tfm/vf files.
