+TODO for dvips(k). (Public domain.)
+
+- see dvips items on tug.org/help (lots! both doc and code).
+- use snprintf, not sprintf, if any question.
+- comment line break http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/b8ed25cc6153d5c
+- \special{map: ...} a la \pdfmapline (reinhardk 30dec06)
+- maybe stuff from dvipsfnt.txt from yy
+- dvips +ufoobar.map -> no error?
+
+From Tom:
+
+To document:
+ Landscape mfmode
+ HPS integration
+ Separate EPSF file generation
+ Better bbox support
+ Comment elision now turned *off*
+ Upleveling of font requirements
+ Bitmap font descriptions
+
+Questions:
+ Should I eliminate PStfms/PSvfs/afm-extra?
+ Should I eliminate PSlatex? (my guess is yes)
+ Partial type 1 downloading (Sergey Lesenko)
+ HyperTeX support (Mark Doyle)
+ Lots of little bugs/changes/fixes
+
+Still todo:
+- Make a better copyfile that handles Level 2 data better
+- Add landscape mode def and code to select it.
+- Sanitize; test on various systems
+- Improve makefile!!! Goal: on a standard C installation (with stdlib
+ and all) and a Unix machine using TDS, make it be just a `make' away.
+- Improve diagnostics, especially when files not found.
+- Eliminate `extern' declarations; use header files properly
+
+Won't do:
+- would be nice to report the full path of config.ps and psfonts.map,
+etc., if !quiet, but unfortunately these are processed before the banner
+is printed. Can't move the banner earlier because we have to know if we
+are being quiet or not. So, leave as debugging output only.
