Ah, you've hit my e-mail black hole!  Somewhere that message is filed,
in among 400K of "get back to" messages.  We've been a bit busy
replacing all of our machines in time for the new quarter, and I
haven't hacked on Up in a long time (there are several problems, which
taken together suggest a complete redesign).  These two facts combine
to create a "gee, I'll get back to him real soon".

  To get it to work correctly with dvips requires either fixing the
way that dvips writes its end-of-page code (which is in the patch on
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu), or fixing up to do its work inside the
redefined showpage instead of physically between pages.

  Since I wrote this package, I've seen a lot of *bad* PostScript that
claims to follow the DSC.  This just shows how vague that document is.
Tomas' output is *not* bad, it just does something I don't like (and
that my code doesn't catch :-)).
