The use of this program may not be readily apparent.  If you are using
TranScript, and your printer's name is "ps", you would use a command
sequence that looked something like this:

	% tex myfile
	% dvi2ps myfile > myfile.ps
	% lpr -Pps myfile.ps

The first few pages will print in a very very slow fashion while the fonts
are being defined.  Printing speeds up a little as you get further down the
document.


Installation comments:
======================

In installing this software, you will need to put tex.ps in
/usr/local/lib/tex/tex.ps.  If you want to put it somewhere else, see the
definition in the Makefile.
Normally, tex.ps is incorporated into the PostScript file
produced by dvi2ps.

The font area is assumed to be /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/gf300.
This filter supports the TEXFONTS environment font directory path.
Each font directory can be arranged in a hierarchy fashion.
All the tfm files are contained in /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts
(tfm files are used by TeX and LaTeX, but not by dvi2ps).
If a file named SUBDIR is present in /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/gf300
(or whatever directory name you select),
then the name of the font style is taken as the name of a
subdirectory in searching for the pxl file associated with the font.
In other words, cmr10.300gf will be found in
/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/gf300/cmr/cmr10.300gf.
When the file named SUBDIR is not present,
all pxl files are looked for in the directory itself,
e.g., /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/gf300/cmr10.300gf in the above example.


printcap information
====================

MIT uses another program called dvipsf when the LaserWriter is used with the
/etc/printcap file.  dvipsf invokes dvi2ps and applef.  Both dvipsf.c and
applef.c are included here.  MIT's printcap entry for the laserwriter reads:
7th Floor LaserWriter|lw7|7lw|laserwriter|apple|LE-MONDE|LE-MONDE-LGP|LE-MONDE-ASCII|LE-MONDE-DVI:\
	:cP=LE-MONDE-LGP:cT:dP=LE-MONDE-DVI:dT:vP=LE-MONDE:\
	:br#9600:rw:fc#0000374:fs#0000003:xc#0:xs#0040040:mx#0:\
	:lp=/dev/ttyh5:sd=/usr/spool/lw7:pl#66:pw#89:\
	:lf=/usr/spool/lw7/log:of=/usr/lib/applef:\
	:md=/usr/spool/lw7/motd:vf=/usr/lib/applef:\
	:df=/usr/lib/dvipsf:cf=/usr/lib/applebitf:


History and acknowledgements
============================

The driver was converted by Neal Holtz of Carleton University from a Sun
previewer originally written by Mark Senn and later modified by others (see
dvi2ps for specifics).  Additional modifications and enhancements have been
done by Scott Jones and Chris Lindblad at MIT.
