Short: dvips for the Amiga, carefree version
This is my pseudo-port of dvips for the Amiga. Basically, I just
compiled the code with GCC 2.1, so it's not really a port. I left out
the source code, since it's publically available elsewhere and I made
no changes (at least as far as I remember...). I *did* include the
Makefile I used to compile.
Actually, this is a bit misleading. I'm not really familiar with GCC,
and I didn't know quite how to handle all the modules. I ran 'make'
once with -c in the CFLAGS line to keep the object modules unlinked;
then, when all modules were compiled, I removed this flag to link it
up.
Also, the makefile called for some bizarre things involving ed, which
the Amiga doesn't have; I created the files concerned by hand,
emulating the ed commands in the makefile.
All the output files (and input files required by dvips) are included
in this archive, all moved to the proper directory. I compiled such
that dvips looks in TeX: for its format files and fonts, so you need
to make this assign if you use my binaries. A sample installation
follows:
> cd work:
> lha x dh2:dvipsamiga.lha
[lha reports deleted]
> assign TeX: tex
> cat >>s:ASSIGNS
assign TeX: work:TeX DEFER
[ctrl-\]
> echo "Now go on about your business."
Now go on about your business.
Documentation, as in the distribution, is in dvips.tex.
This archive contains no fonts; you'll have to fetch them elsewhere.
I know for a fact that some stuff is available from
midway.uchicago.edu:pub/tex/dvips/*, since I just cd-ed(?) there and
looked at it.
I don't use TeX (I just needed to PostScript-ify some .dvi files I
have), so I don't know whether this setup clashes with a standard TeX
setup. If so, my apologies, and you're welcome to use the Makefile.
Hope this is useful to someone.

P.S. --Note that since this is compiled under GCC2.1, you need v37+
of the ixemul.library loaded into your system. Do this however you
wish, by putting it into libs: or by using a "loadlib"-type program.
