A few notes. First of all, 3.4 is a beta version, and bug reports should go to me, not to public distribution. The one you mention will be fixed; how has not been specified. (Specifically, some dvi2ps programs use hscale=0.34 (a fraction); some use hscale=34 (a fraction times 100 rounded to an integer). I've got to figure out a convenient way to select between the two interpretations.) The program should be released for general consumption by TUG. -tom
