Now that I have ugraded my NeXT cube to system software version 2.0 and to board 68040, I noticed that the "c" flag (copies) in dvips stopped working such as in dvips -c 3 foo.dvi I can still use collated copies such as "dvips -C 3 foo.dvi". Can anyone advise me??? I have the following versions of \TeX\ and dvips: This is CTeX, NeXT Version 3.1a This is dvips, version 5.396 (C) 1986-90 Radical Eye Software Thanks...Paul Paul Nevai nevai@mps.ohio-state.edu (Internet) Department of Mathematics nevai@ohstpy (BITNET) The Ohio State University 1-(614)-292-3317 (Office) P.O.

I have had a similar problem with the "-t legal" mode. (I reported it here about a month ago--thanks to everyone who gave me a solution, unfortunately they didn't solve the problem.) I contacted Rokicki, but he didn't have a way to check into the problem at this time. I'm not convinced the problem lies entirely with dvips--for example when I generate a legal size paper with dvips, YAP displays the entire page (although offset, which I can then correct). But printing the page it always gets chopped off. Anyone got any ideas? Charlie

It may not be a dvips bug but a PS interpreter bug. Our Dataproducts 1260 dislikes BoundingBoxes larger than the paper size here (A4). (Yes, apparently the interpreter reads the structuring comments!) and produces double height characters. Using -t a4 fixed it.
