DVIEPS for Atari ST
\end{center}
Here's a DVI file to Epson dumper.  This program is part of the family
of DVI drivers available from the DVI archives at SCIENCE.UTAH.EDU.


There didn't seem to be any doc available, at least I didn't see any
when I grabbed this stuff out of the archives.  Basically, you just
say {\bf"dvieps foobar"} at your favorite CLI.  That'll look for
{\bf"foobar.dvi"} and produce {\bf"foobar.eps"}, which can be dumped
straight to your Epson-compatible printer.  Other options that are
interesting are: {\bf -p\#[:\#[:\#]]} for selective page printing, and
{\bf -z} for output straight to the printer, rather than going to a
file.  That's particularly useful for .eps files, as they're
enourmous; ~350K/page (!).  There are a bunch of other options, for
alternate scaling, font substitution files etc.  Look at the code in
OPTION.H for more detail. 


There's another variant of the same program dvie72, which works just
like dvieps except that it produces output for 72dpi mode, as opposed
to 240dpi mode.  That one doesn't seem to work right; the output's
always too wide on my Panasonic 1080i; but it could be that the
Panasonic's not quite like an Epson, or that I've got the wrong fonts
or something.

Fonts are expected to be arranged using the same scheme as DVIST; ie
under your root font directory, you should have directories named the
names of the fonts, and in those, font files with names of the form
"96PK" or whatever.  Run the program with {\bf-d32767} to see a log of all
the font files it tries to open.  I have included no fonts with this
distribution, as they're available from lots of other places.  If you
want to make up a set of fonts for it, dvieps expects a default
magnification of 1200 (I think that's the same as 240dpi) and dvie72
expects 72dpi.

\item[Setting up:]
\item[1.   ] Unpack the executables from the archive.
\item[2.   ] Alter your startup file to
define env var {\bf 'TEXFONTS'} to point to the root directory of your
tex fonts.  Note that, in keeping with Eunuchs-itis, the maximum level
of incompatibility is maintained with other TeX-family programs; you
can't specify a search path here, it must be a directory.  I fixed
things so that it doesn't matter whether you include the trailing
backslash or not, but there was no quick fix to implement search
paths, so I didn't bother.  Maybe later.  In any event, I've included
my SETUPTEX.G as an example. 
\item[3.   ] That's it!
\end{description}


Finally, I've included a little frobule called EPS, for dumping .eps
files to the printer.  This seems to be necessary when running gulam,
as it insists on corrupting the data on its way to the printer.


All this stuff was built with GCC 1.25.


Enjoy!
