- I have uploaded the following files to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu:
-
- flip1os2.zip Rahul Dhesi's newline conversion program
- dvidvi.zip Rokicki's dvi-to-dvi translator (select pages, two-up,...)
- dvips549.zip Rokicki's dvips 5.490, see also Sinha's 2.0 port
-
- These were compiled with MSC 6.00A, and will run under OS/2 1.3 and
- 2.0. dvips is a bound executable (so will also run under MSDOS);
- separate bound executables are included for flip and dvidvi.
- Programs were not tested under OS/2 1.1--1.2, but probably will work
- under 1.2.
-
-
- Notes:
- 1. I do not completely understand why Dhesi used the
- findfirst/findnext calls, as they require somewhat fancy coding due
- to the nature of flip. I used setargv.obj to provide globbing and
- long filenames. Comments welcomed.
-
-
- 2. dvidvi from labrea definitely has problems. It says it is ready for
- MSC 6, but see my README.OS2 file. In addition, one of the '#ifdef
- SHORTINT' has the cases incorrect. Redirection should now work.

- 3. dvips549 was created from the nice OS/2 2.0 port by Gyan P. Sinha
- (gyan@unixg.ubc.ca) posted to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/2.0/emtex/.
- Sinha's file should also be obtained, as my archive includes only the
- makefile, link def's, and executables. It should be noted that I am a
- dvips neophyte.

- 4. Bug-reports and success-reports welcomed!

-
- Suggested names and final resting places:
