 I recently ported a DVI to Epson 9-pin printer translator to my 
IBM-PC clone.  This program was obtained by anonymous FTP to 
wuarchive.wustl.edu.  

This program, called DVIEPS, was modified by Nelson Beebe at Utah.

My question is, has anyone out in Netland been able to get this program
to work?  When I try to run the program, it generally hangs up or generates
garbage on the printer.  

If anyone has some info, or would wish to contact me, I would appreciate the 
help.

Bill

P.S.  My computer is running MSDOS 4.0 and has 2Megs of extended RAM.
       The DVIEPS utility is appearing to load the fonts properly.
