- This directory contains Dvipsk, my (kb@cs.umb.edu) modified version of
- Tom Rokicki's dvips.
-
-
- I will be convering dvips over to using fontinst fonts---soon. I will also
- be adding some new `standard' specials and context specials. So things
- will probably be changing a fair bit soon. (Of course, I plan to maintain
- full backward compatibility.)
-
- If you enjoy using dvips, you will probably enjoy being a member of
- the TeX Users Group. To join or contribute to TUG, contact them at

- See `Makefile.in' for the version number.
- See `NEWS' for changes by release.
-
- The file `INSTALL' explains the installation process, which I changed to
- use a GNU-style (Autoconf-generated) `configure' script to guess
- system-dependent information, instead of requiring the installer to do
- everything in the Makefile.
-
- Aside from configuration, this differs from the original primarily in
- that it uses the same code for path searching as TeX and my other
- distributions.
-
- Please report bugs to tex-k@cs.umb.edu, rather than Tom, so he is not
- bothered with bugs that aren't in his program.
- Email tex-k-request@cs.umb.edu with a line containing
- subscribe you@preferred.email.address

- Dvipsk is free software; Tom's original files are public domain. The
- files I wrote (originally for the Free Software Foundation) are covered
- by the GNU General Public License -- see the files COPYING*.
-
- You can get the original dvips from labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.
-
- config.ps is changed drastically from the original (which remains in
- config.psr). I also changed MakeTeXPK and psfonts.map in (I intended)
- upward-compatible ways.
-
- The documentation is now in Texinfo format. I've removed the font
- naming section, since it was an old version of the font naming document
- (which you can get from ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/fontname/fontname.texi).
