What were you trying to do?
I was trying to add a header on the front of a .dvi file using
dvips -h (header.ps) -o (outputfile.ps) (inputfile.dvi)
or more explicitly:
Vice-Grips[14]~/games/Nexus/graphics/dvips -h dvips-header.ps -o blurb.ps blurb.dvi
This is dvips 5.58 Copyright 1986, 1994 Radical Eye Software
' TeX output 1997.06.14:1814' -> blurb.ps
dvips: ! Too little VM in printer
Where dvips-header.ps is a 1.1 meg file created from a gif image.
What's wrong:
the problem is that the config.ps in /usr/athena/lib/tex/ps/
has a memory size of 1M. The 1.1M file overruns this size. Most all printers
that use postscript these days has at least 2-4 megs of available memory.
What should have happened:
All that needs to be changed is in /usr/athena/lib/tex/ps/config.ps:
substitute:
m 1000000
with
m 4000000
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
tex dvips will produce the dvips manual in dvips.dvi
