System name:		FIONAVAR
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2D
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Print out selected pages using the -x option

What's wrong:
	The -x option only recognizes the first page; doing

	dvi2ps -x 3,5,7 foo.dvi  

	only generates postscript for page 3

What should have happened:
	It should correctly parse the comma-separated list of numbers;
	looking at the code in DecodeArgs() in dvi2ps.c, there is no support
	for this, even though the man page claims there is.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	From dvi2ps(1):

     -x pages   - print the specified pages in addition to those
         A comma-separated list of numbers may be given.
