TextFile

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:
