That reminds me.  Some months ago I posted a request for help
about a dvips program.

Is there nobody in this entire universe who uses a dvips program
on a system with short filenames (like, oh, say, Sys. V UNIX)?

I got a dvips etc. from somewhere (labrea? I forget) but it had
these long filenames like 
	AvantGardeItal
that won't work on Sys. V.  Sure, I could go through and hack up
the files to use names like "avant.dembld" and rename the files
accordingly.  But some of the files aren't unique in the first
14 chars and hence copied over themselves as I untarred them.

Hasn't anybody done this work already?  I'm *lazy*, if possible.
