 The example .tex file can be found at

www.personal.psu.edu/ixc128/dvi2ps2pdf/xytest4post.tex

The log file is at :

www.personal.psu.edu/ixc128/dvi2ps2pdf/xytest4post.log

The .dvi file and the .ps files are:

www.personal.psu.edu/ixc128/dvi2ps2pdf/xytest4post.dvi

www.personal.psu.edu/ixc128/dvi2ps2pdf/xytest4post.ps

Compare the pdf outputs of DVI-->PDF and DVI-->PS-->PDF in:

www.personal.psu.edu/ixc128/dvi2ps2pdf/usingDVI2PDF.pdf
and
www.personal.psu.edu/ixc128/dvi2ps2pdf/usingDVI2ps2pdf.pdf

sorry for the links....but that seemed to be the most convenient
approach

(ps. A note to Dr Moore....see now I can draw COLORED crvs :-)   )
