I have a question concerning DVIPS.

Our TeX/LaTeX installation is running on a VAX/VMS system and we are
currently trying to implement DVIPS (we have been using PSPRINT so
far).  Most fonts we use in LaTeX are PostScript fonts, but there are
still a few Computer Modern fonts left, such as the teletype font
(which we prefer to Courier), math fonts, and some more.

The problem is that DVIPS looks for Computer Modern PK file in the
wrong directories, for example we get the following messages:

  dvips: Font [359]cmmi10.pk not found, characters will be left blank.
  dvips: Font [299]cmsy8.pk not found, characters will be left blank.
  dvips: Font [359]cmsy10.pk not found, characters will be left blank.

We do have these files, but the "nearest" directories are [360] and
[300], respectively.  The PostScript fonts work just fine, it's only
the Computer Modern fonts that do not work.  How come DVIPS "misses"
these directories?

Thanks for any comments.
