Well, I compiled dvips for the DECstation, but it doesn't seem very
happy:

<podge> .../project/sipbsrc/@sys/dvips% ./dvips -o /dev/null ~/thesis/main.dvi
This is dvips 5.485 Copyright 1986-92 Radical Eye Software
' TeX output 1992.05.06:1757' -> /dev/null
- MakeTeXPK cmbx10 576 400 magstep\(2.0\)
Couldn't find font cmbx10 at 576dpi.
./dvips: Font cmbx10.432pk at 576 not found; scaling 432 instead.
./dvips: Such scaling will generate extremely poor output.
- MakeTeXPK cmr12 400 400 magstep\(0.0\)
Appending font creation commands to missfont.log
./dvips: Font cmr12.300pk at 400 not found; scaling 300 instead.
- MakeTeXPK cmr10 576 400 magstep\(2.0\)
./dvips: Font cmr10.432pk at 576 not found; scaling 432 instead.

... and it goes on line that for a while.  I do not know anything
about TeX fonts, and so I cannot fix the problem.
