My apologies if this is something obvious, but the man / info page
for dvips on my system doesn't have a -G option, and -P is used for
the printer you are selecting. Does a newer version of dvips have
some sort of default pdf / www ``printer''?
Some version info (Debian unstable system):
$ dvips --version
dvips(k) 5.86e
kpathsea version 3.3.7
$ dpkg --list tetex-bin
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-===========
ii tetex-bin 1.0.7+20011202 teTeX binary files
Thanks. I'm always looking for yet another way to produce PDF from
TeX / LaTeX, since the results of such a conversion are so varied.
