$Id: README 63453 2022-05-31 15:40:57Z karl $ This directory contains Dvips, Tom Rokicki's dvips, a DVI-to-PostScript translator. It requires the Kpathsea library for path searching. Dvips is free software; Tom's original files are public domain. The files Karl wrote (originally for the Free Software Foundation) are covered by the GNU General Public License -- see the files COPYING*. Mailing list for bug reports and all general discussion: https://lists.tug.org/tex-k; anyone can join the list, but it is not necessary to join to post. Archives are public. See `NEWS' for changes by release, `ChangeLog` for all changes. dvips is now maintained as part of TeX Live, https://tug.org/texlive. Info on building only one program from TL, like this one: https://tug.org/texinfohtml/tlbuild.html#Build-one-package TeX Live general build info: https://tug.org/texlive/build.html Mailing list for build issues (same setup as tex-k, above): https://lists.tug.org/tlbuild ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The documentation is in the file dvips.texi. You can read and run the file testdata/dvipstst.tex that to test some basic capabilities of dvips. Some of the other files in testdata: intoverflow.dvi (CVE-2010-0739) vfnameoverflow.dvi (CVE-2010-0827) See also the *.test* scripts. If you enjoy using dvips, you will probably enjoy being a member of the TeX Users Group. To join or contribute to TUG, see http://tug.org. This is a list of people who have contributed substantially to dvips. I'm sure I've forgotten many. Thanks to all! Karl Berry Peter Breitenlohner P. W. Daly Mark Doyle Edward J.
