I emailed the Peh Ng, but in case other people were wondering how
to use the -d option, it would require a few minor changes to
your transcript shell script. I would do something like this:

> #!/bin/sh 
> # reads a dvi file from stdin, write PostScript to stdout

> tmp1=/tmp/dvips.tmp
> rm -f $tmp1
> cat $@ > $tmp1
> /usr/unsup/dvips -f -q -M $tmp1
> rm -f $tmp1

then modify the transcript replace 'df' with a call to this script.
