Package: dvips
Severity: normal

(continuation of Subject!) .  .  . and I use a long file name,
when I run dvips against the .dvi file that TeX produces, I get a
message that the desired file can not be found.  That the file is
there can however be confirmed by running dvipdfm against the .dvi
file, and a satisfactory .pdf is produced.

My version of dvips is 5.95b; a colleague, using Ubuntu, and dvips
5.96.1, reports that her dvips works fine.
