Dvips
*****

  This manual documents Dvips, a program to translate a DVI file into
PostScript.  It corresponds to version 5.58f of the Dvipsk
distribution, a slightly modified variant of the original `dvips'
progam with path searching rules consistent with TeX, the GNU font
utilities, and Xdvik.  Tom Rokicki wrote and maintains `dvips';
`kb@cs.umb.edu' made the Dvipsk modifications.
