     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.

Actually, dvips has changed a good deal since then (it is currently up
to version 5.38 -- at least last time I looked).  The current version
sets up the TeX convention for scaling and orientation at the
beginning of each page - it does not assume that this graphics state
be preserved from page to page.

So, the conclusion is: Yes, up works with dvips!  (I'm using both
Tom's dvips and your up and parr programs.)
