+
+dvips 5.86 notes:

+ font files.

+ Added 'F' in config file to send controlD.
+ Added quick exit if -? or -v.

+ Improved tex.lpro to work around a problem in certain Windows
+ environments.
+ Made dvips complain if it had to section a document.
+ Eliminated use-after-free bug in hps.c.
+ Fixed a problem in t1part for the Euro fonts with partial font downloading.
+ Fixed a big problem in t1part for some font downloading due to
+ uninitialized allocations.

+ particular font) in psfonts.map.
+
+dvips 5.74 notes:
+
+ The epsf.sty and epsf.tex files are now in the public domain.
+ The t1part.c has been updated to support binary files with
+ multiple binary sections.
+
+dvips 5.72 notes:
+
+ Bug fix in t1part.c??? I hope so!
+
+ Debugging now turned on by default. No real reason to turn it off.
+ (Too many Linux versions of dvips without debugging have been
+ distributed, and it makes it very difficult to help the users with
+ their problems . . .)
+
+dvips 5.62 notes:
+
+ The makefile and config.ps and MakeTeXPK need to be modified to fit
+ your site!
