I've got a LaTeX file here from a foreign site that has \special
commands in it in a format we don't use here, and don't
recognize.  Could someone out there see if they know what I've
got here, and, more importantly, where I can get my hands on a
dvi driver that will convert it to Postscript?

Thanks for any help.

Here is a sample of the arguments (in question) to a series of
\special commands:
