It's worse than that.  Unless someone has uploaded a newer version of
dvieps to Simtel20, the version that is out there contains a rather
nasty bug (besides producing enormous output files and being incredibly
slow :-) which bites whenever text lies partially in the first output
strip and partially in the second.  (The output bitmap is divided into
two strips in this version).  Typical symptoms consists of a hung machine.
Do yourself a favor and don't use this version.  If you don't want to
register and receive the current, supported and correct version of the
package, get a copy from Jon Radel (jonradel@icecream.Princeton.EDU)
who maintains up-to-date versions.
