#40 eclTex prints the file instead of generating PS under Linux

[Daniel Le Berre]

EclTex calls
dvips main.dvi
to generate the ps file.

under linux, by default, that command sends the file to
the printer.

One should use
dvips main.dvi -o
instead.

Here's a little perl script to use as a temporary fix: just
move dvips to .dvips and save this as dvips (with chmod +x)

#!/usr/bin/perl
if (@ARGV) {
my $dvi = $ARGV[0];
my $ps = "$dvi.ps";
$_ = $dvi;
if (/.dvi$/) {
s/\.dvi/\.ps/;
$ps = $_;
}
system ".dvips -o $ps $dvi";
}
