This program converts DVI files (produced by the TeX text formatting system) into PostScript. It is based on a different philosophy from the `dvi2ps' program that is part of the UNIX TeX distribution. Instead of treating the printer as a big 300 dpi bitmap engine, it generates resolution-independent PostScript using real PostScript fonts, thus allowing it to be used with a Linotron 300 imagesetter at full quality, as well as LaserWriters et al. It has been designed for speed and simplicity. It does not support the Computer Modern fonts, but it would if someone did a PostScript outline font for them. This distribution contains preliminary TFM files for a large set of Adobe PostScript fonts [sorry, you have to get the fonts themselves from Adobe...], the source files, and a small test document. This is meant to be a preliminary release; any suggestions or bug fixes should be sent to me at the address below. Note that this is not meant to replace `dvi2ps'. `psdvi' is better for long documents that use only the Adobe fonts, and generates more compact PostScript. However, it is probably impractical to try and merge this program and `dvi2ps' together. To use the program, type `psdvi filename' and PostScript will be sent to stdout. The output conforms to the Adobe file structuring conventions, and seems to coexist with Transcript without complaining (this lets you reverse and/or select pages, etc.). Enjoy, Clayton M.
