Hi,

	I have a problem with converting .dvi file to .ps file using dvips
I am using version "dvipsk 5.58f". It convert my .dvi file to .ps file ok,
I can view it using ghostview and other software to view the ps format, but
it seems that it only have one page, no matter how many page is in the actual
document, ghostview would not have page numbers displayed at the column on the
left. And if I use program like psnup, to say change it to double page per A4
page or something like that, it says,

psnup -2 mine.ps > ! temp.ps
Wrote 0 pages, 80458 bytes

seems like it sees only one page and did not put two pages into one, so the 
.ps file is basically unchanged.
I have been trying to solve this problem for a while, you see, sometimes I 
would like to print one page at the time not one whole document.....8-(
I am not sure where the problem(s) is, and would really like to find out.
Thank You

Regards

Geoff Lin

ps this is the output when I do dvips....

dvips -r0 -o mine.ps mine.dvi

This problem is not uncommon and is caused by an entry in the file
config.ps that tells dvips to turn off PostScript comments by default.
This can be necessary for some printers or PostScript interpreters,
mainly very old ones.  To fix it you should find and edit the file
config.ps: there will be a line starting with `N' that should be
deleted or commented out.  If you don't have the rights to do this you
can copy the system config.ps file to a file called .dvipsrc in your
home directory and edit it there.
