Some notes on installing dvips 5.4 on AmigaDOS using SAS C 5.10a by Georg Hessmann 26th Juny 1991. These notes are not by Tomas Rokicki. *This* AMIGA-Version is not from Tomas Rokicki and so will be unable to answer questions about problems with this AMIGA version. This set of AMIGA files for dvips contains: README.amiga This file. lmkfile Makefile for SAS C 5.10a. dvips.lnk Link options file for blink. texc.rexx ARexx version of the TEXC.SCRIPT csh script. CallMF084.lzh Archive with ARexx scripts for automatic fontgenerating. patches Context diff between the AMIGA version and the original dvips 5.47 distribution. The AMIGA version of dvips differs from the description in dvips.1 in the following ways: - path separators are ',' not ':' - pipes to printers not supported. Output must go to a file. This can be a AMIGA pipe:, so this should work: run dvips -o pipe:psfile xxx.dvi + type pipe:psfile to par: - don't call Metafont via system("MakeTeXPk..."). If the ENV: variable CALLMF is set call the contents of the variable. Look in the archive CallMF.lzh for more informations. If you want to use a different directory arrangement, modify the paths in config.ps. If you want to store config.ps or psfonts.map in a different place, either recompile dvips or use the environment variable TEXCONFIG. (The path '.' stands here for the actual directory '""') Look in the file PATH.C if you want see the default pathes. Note: dvips is pure. If the 'p' bit is lost, set it with "protect dvips +p".
