   I have a paper in 'dvi' format. How can it be converted to
   Postscript format (or *roff) for my Laserwriter?

It is the DeVice Independant format produced by the TeX typesetting program.
It can be converted to PostScript by using dvialw or dvips.  Sorry, can't
point you to a source.  I know that the latter is at least partially made by
Knuth.
