I can't use any of this programs to extract a specific page from the
following file:

/afs/grand.central.org/darpa/doc/afs/specs/progint/psrv/psrv-spec.dvi.

dvi2ps and dvitps produce PostScript which won't print.

dvips the following weird error:

# 221 portnoy Jul 19 5:13pm specs/progint/psrv
; dvips -o /tmp/bar.ps -p 60 psrv-spec.dvi
This is dvips 5.47 Copyright 1986-91 Radical Eye Software
' TeX output 1991.08.28:1216' -> /tmp/bar.ps
dvips: ! End of document before first specified page

Note the following:

# 225 portnoy Jul 19 5:13pm specs/progint/psrv
; dvips -o /tmp/bar.ps -p 48 psrv-spec.dvi
This is dvips 5.47 Copyright 1986-91 Radical Eye Software
' TeX output 1991.08.28:1216' -> /tmp/bar.ps
<tex.pro>. [48] [49] [50] [1] [2]

I'm not sure what the problem is here,  I don't expect it to get fixed.
