Wonderful Bug-fixing people:
Thanks for fixing dvips. It works now, ie, it prints.
But, if you care, it still generates an error message:
10 ~/genome>dvips simplemodel
DVIPS now selects 600dpi TeX/LaTeX fonts for the new Athena printers
by default. Use "dvips -D300" for 300dpi printers.
If you currently set environment variable PKFONTS or define a font
path in your .dvipsrc file, you will have problems unless it includes
/afs/sipb/project/outland/lib/tex/fonts/pk.
Please report bugs or problems to bug-sipb@mit.edu.

Fixed. It seems that bert did not build the lasy fonts for 600dpi. I
have built them and installed them in /mit/outland/lib/tex/fonts/pk.

[ Bert:
I used the SIPB_def.mf from /afs/sipb/user/bert/mf.build, and
used the mode LaserJetFour for this. I think this is correct. Tell me
if I'm wrong. ]

Couldn't find font lasy10 at 600dpi.
dvips: Font lasy10.518pk at 600 not found; scaling 518 instead.
dvips: Such scaling will generate extremely poor output.

What does this mean? I'm not using any special fonts in
my document... it is completely generic stuff.
