- To install this version of dvips:
-
- Update makefile, in particular, the paths.
- Check file name definitions in MakeTeXPK.
- (If you don't have MF installed, don't
- install MakeTeXPK either.)
- Check the configuration parameters in config.ps.
- (Send the mem.ps file below to figure
- the memory in your PostScript printer for
- the `m' line in config.ps.)
- Run "make".
- Run "make install" if all went well.
-
- If the font caching is a security hole, then make the `cache'
- directory be something like /tmp/pks, and cron a job to move the
- good PK files into the real directory. Or simply disable this
- feature by not installing MakeTeXPK.
-
- Don't forget to install the new VF files or TFM files. Note
- that the TFM files distributed with earlier (pre-5.0) versions
- of dvips are *different*. And the VF/TFM files changed again
- with 5.33.
-
- If the file doesn't print (especially if it says `bop undefined'),
- try using the -N option to turn off the %% comments; if this
- works, complain to your system administrator that your PostScript
- spooling software is broken.
-
- Here's a short file to figure the memory available in your
- printer:
-
- %! Hey, we're PostScript
