-I backed out some of the changes, but it should compile and run on VMS.
-I removed the changes that guarantee that the scratch files get unique
-names; I did this because the resulting filenames would not work on
-some systems, and because if this is a problem I feel the correct
-solution would be to make sure each user is actually running in the
-correct unique directory, rather than changing the names of all of the
-temporary files that dvips might create. -tgr

-Subject: vms port and mods of hyper dvips 5.58
-Content-Type: text

-I've picked up dvips version 5.58 from LANL, with Mark's hps
-modifications. I've ported (reported?) this to VMS. Below is a
-summary of my changes, followed by a copy of each changed
-routine (all changes are annotated with EJG).
-
-(It looks like whoever was keeping the vms port going hasn't
-worked on it for a while.)
-
-Thanks for the good work!

-This directory contains dvips 5.58 hacked by Mark Doyle to put in
-mods for hyperps and hacked by me to make sure it ports to VMS.
-
-This was obtained by following links from http://xxx.lanl.gov/hypertex
-in early July, 1996.
-
-Dvips has been made for vms v6.2 (alpha and vax) using DEC C
-v5.0.
-
-Main changes I made:
-
-******
-dvips.c
-
-include subdirectory [.vms] where vmscli.c is included.
-
-get process id and use in constructing file names
-dvips_h_pidxxxxx.tmp and dvips_b_pidxxxxx.tmp to replace head.tmp
-and body.tmp, so we don't get a name collision if two users are
-using the same scratch space. Change all references to these
-names to reference the variables holding the new names.
-
-******
-hps.c
-
-replace head.tmp and body.tmp as above.
-
-replace ERROR with ERROR_HPS to avoid collision with error()
-function. Question: why us a boolean variable to represent a
-constant?
-
-after the former head.tmp and body.tmp files are copied to the
-output, they are deleted. (neatness)
-
-
-******
-output.c
-
-replace head.tmp and body.tmp as above. Required a little bit of
-extra logic when testing to see if the output file is the former
-head.tmp (so we don't put in a \n). Don't want to do the test if
-the HPS_FLAG hasn't been set.
-
-******
-dvips.h
-
-include subdirectory [.vms] where vms.h is included.
-
-******
-[.vms]vmscli.c
-
-add qualifiers for new options since this file was last updated.
-
-fix up some bugs in qualifiers.
-
-******
-[.vms]dvips.cld
-
-add qualifiers for new options since this file was last updated.
-
-fix up some bugs in qualifiers.
-
-******
-[.vms]dvips.hlp
-
-add help for new qualifiers added above.
-
-make help agree with what the qualifiers actually do. For
-example, the /filter qualifier, sends the output to stdout, but
-still requires an input file (it will not read from stdin).
-
-******
-[.vms]newmake.com
-
-Made from [.vms]make.com. Don't prompt for options - all
-hardwired as defaults, except fontlib is turned off. HPS is
-defined in all cc's, and /standard=vaxc is added to all cc's.
-
-hps.c is included in the compile and link steps
-
-options file is removed from the link steps.
