Rob, That idea does work: when I replace all spaces with ~ I get good
output. I would need to post-process each tex file though. Maybe I can
work out a script to do that and integrate it with docdvi (as Roger
suggested)? First I will try to see if/how ffslides may be interfering with
obeyspaces. I did read in the ffslides documentation that we can't use
verbatim directly since pstricks (postscript) has some problem with that.
Maybe a related issue.
Thanks for the tip; that is a good work-around for now. -Dave
