If one throws ASCII I agree with this sentiment; likewise, I do not like that dvips prints by default in the FreeBSD port of teTeX. I generally print my files from a machine other than the one on which I generate PostScript. When I think of programs like "a2ps" and "dvips", I think of tools for producing PostScript; when I see "lpr", I think of printing. And these are usually two different tasks for me. -- Matthew Hunt <mph@pobox.com> * Think locally, act globally. finger hunt@mph124.rh.psu.edu for PGP public key.
