Has anyone noticed that TeX (some versions at least)
fails to produce conforming postscript files?
 
At the very least, there ought to be %%Page i j markers 
in the output of any dvi2ps. This can not be left
exclusively to the dvi2ps driver, though. 
TeX needs to embed some appropriate markers in its dvi
files so that this can be done.
 
nn @Bop [0|1] is not good enough.
 
Any support for this lone cry to the wilderness?
Do versions later than 2.1 fix this?
