If you're thinking about moving the SIPB docs used by OLH into a
"current" directory instead of keeping them in the source trees, it
might be a good idea to create .dvi files which use TeX fonts that are
in the standard path. When one previews the "One-Page Guide to the
Usenet," it not only spews a lot "Can't find font" problems, but it also
takes a very long time to preview.
(It seems that OLH is not yet using the "current" directory. The
PostScript font thing should be fixed before the switch is made.)
Also, maybe something should be done about this:
xdvi: special "psfile=funky-owl.PS hoffset=-100" not implemented
It seems like a good start would be to come up with a Makefile/inset
system common to SIPB docs which would automatically make both the
printable and xdviable versions, installing them in right places when a
"make install" is done.
