great - that did it.
now dvipost.sty is no longer the problem. instead i get:
LaTeX Error: Option clash for package color.
\usepackage
[dvips]{graphics}
The package color has already been loaded with options:
[usenames]
There has now been an attempt to load it with options
[dvips]
Adding the global options:
usenames,dvips
to your \documentclass declaration may fix this.
Try typing <return> to proceed.
btw, my preable looks like this:
\usepackage[dvips]{color}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphics}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\newcommand\suppress[1]{}
\newcommand\deleted[1]{\xout{#1}}
\newcommand\revised[1]{\uline{#1}}
\newlength\wvtextpercent
\setlength\wvtextpercent{0.009\textwidth}
\newbox\strikebox
\def\strike#1{\setbox\strikebox \hbox{<#1>}\hbox{\raise0.5ex\hbox to 0pt{\vrule
height 0.4pt width \wd\strikebox\hss}\copy\strikebox}}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{\smallskipamount}
