On uunet, there is a file dvi3ps.tar.Z. I have no idea where that
file came from, but it was almost certainly ftp'd from somewhere.
The problem is that the file is corrupted... it throws uncompress
into an loop that generates output of (as far as I know) infinite
size, although the few files generated before the glitch indicate
to me that this is the thing I want and need. Uunet verifies that
the file is corrupted on their machine, but has no record of where
it came from, so here's the question: does anyone know where a good
copy can be obtained?

An alternate question that you all may wish to answer is: where
should I go to get a good, up to date dvi2ps that knows how to
use pk and/or gf fonts and can do font substitution rather than
metafonting what's needed (I have a version that only handles gf
fonts and another version that calls metafont).  My appologies if
this is a real boring question, but none of the articles within
our comp.text expire window have specific ftp instructions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
