Recently, someone described how to convert DVI files generated
on a Unix system so they could be transferred to VAX/VMS and
correctly interpreted.  It involved padding the end of the file out
to a 512-byte boundary with (I thought) the last character in the file.
However, I tried that and one of Nelson Beebe's drivers which I run
under VMS still said, "Are you sure this is a DVI file?"

Could someone enlighten me, please?  I remember seeing the article
about it, but can't remember where (comp.text? TeXhax? UKTeX?...)
It was in the last month or so, anyway.

thanks in advance,
Dave
