The `home' of DVIPS is currently LABREA.STANFORD.EDU, on the /pub directory.
When you unpack the .TAR file you'll have a [.VMS] directory which stores the
VMS-specific bits and pieces. It includes a MAKE.COM to rebuild the whole kit
and a help file. I have recently added to the goodies a MAKEFILE that is
compatible with the Todd Aven MAKE program. Which ever method you use to
rebuild the program do be careful with the definitions of the various PATHS
(CONFIGPATH, FIGPATH, PKPATH, VF_PATH, etc..) to make sure DVIPS can find all
the files it depends on.

The latest version is 5.499 which was released on 19-JAN-1992. Version 5.5
is just around the corner.
