The dvi format has no standard way to do graphics or transform characters or do many other neat things that postscript does. Why would you want to make a ps file into a dvi file anyway. I don't know of anything you can do with a dvi except print it, and you can print the ps file with ghostscript. ---Jon -- Disclaimer --- The government probably disagrees with my opinions.
