I would like to find a version of dvips that has HyperTex support, so that
I might add links into a TeX document that will finally appear in a PDF
file after the PostScript file has been massaged by Distiller.  I belive
that Rockicki's dvips version 5.60a (or greater) will fit the bill
(according to   http://xxx.lanl.gov/hypertex/#pdf).

The most recent version of this that I can find compiled for DOS or
Windows is 5.58.  Can anyone provide a pointer to a more recent version?
A reply by email would be appreciated, since our news host does not always
seem to get everything.  Thanks in advance.

There's a pc directory in the tar file, but you're expected to build
for yourself.  Otherwise, you could wait for the PC-version packagers,
which probably won't take terribly long...

May be that the makefile is correct in the package and you can take it
for the new version...

   I just had compiled dvips v5.66 under Cygnus GNU-Win32 port. It works,
   but it uses Unix-style environment. So, we have two possible
the next release of the TeX Live CD-ROM will have Frabrice Popineau's
port of web2c 7.0 for Windows 95/NT, all present and correct.

      but we will have troubles with appropriate viewer. I think that
   porting xdvi
 to Win32 platform is not one-minute task. Moreover, it needs serious
  changes (user interface, direct support of scalable typefaces, etc.).
      So, does exist any project to write more powerful and portable dvi
   viewer?
yes, Fabrice is working on one/

I hope this helps,

Pedro.
