Excuse my ignorance, new to LaTeX... etc., BUT
I got a version of TeX/LaTeX (HaTe ThIs!) going on an Atari ST
(please no snickers, and no it wont accept Nintendo cartridges).
However when I send the dvi file to my friendly SUN 3 at work
the printer (iptex, shell script calling an IMAGEN driver,
imagen1 ) program complains about a missing "postamble" and
questions if this is REALLY a dvi file then quits. (I guess dvi
means device NOT independent in this case.)

Any clues as to th epossible causes? Examing the dvi file with a
cousin latex'd on the SUN 3 reveals only a few differences (the
ST generated file is slightly larger as well). 

Thanks in advance.
