I am the person at Xerox that is currently maintaining dipress as well
as coordinator of the Xerox Interpress Toolkit.

As Jaap noted, the "makedev" program is part of "Documentor's Workbench".
"Documentor's Workbench" is not on the 4.3BSD Unix distribution.  It must
be bought seperately.  If you have new troff (typesetter independent troff)
then you should also have "makedev".  In this case, perhaps "makedev" is not
in your search path.

As a side note to everybody, there are newer versions of the Interpress Toolkit
available.  The newer versions have many new features including a translator
for the old troff (which emitted Graphics Systems C/A/T codes).  The old
troff comes standard with Berkeley Unix.  The newest version also runs on 
PCs and VMS.

To get your copy:

I don't know if it is still there but there was a copy accessable from
the DARPA Internet as:
	[parcvax.xerox.com]~ftp/pub/iptk3.0.tar.Z

You can also order it from Xerox for some nominal fee.  The telephone number
in the USA is:
	408 737 4652
in the UK it is:
	0628 89 3684
From the DARPA Internet, one can also order via electonic mail with the
address:
	osd-pubs.osbunorth@xerox.com

You will probably want to contact Xerox anyway as the Troff emulation fonts
aren't available electronically.
