DVI to PostScript conversion programs

The best public domain DVI to PostScript conversion program which runs under many operating systems is Tom Rokicki's dvips. dvips is written in C and ports easily to other operating systems.

VMS versions are available through the DECUS library (see sources of software), and also as part of the CTAN distribution of TeX for VMS.

A precompiled version to work with emTeX is available on CTAN.

Karl Berry's version of dvips (called dvipsk) has a configure script and path searching code similar to that in his other programs (e.g., web2c).

Macintosh users can use either the excellent drivers built into OzTeX or Textures, or a port of dvips in the CMacTeX package.
