Re: a bit of help

[Jan Kohnert]

If dvips is in your PATH it should work.
You can test it using 
"which dvips"; that should give you somethong like /usr/bin/dvips or similar. 
If you type 
PATH, you should get any defined PATH of your installation, including the 
directory of dvips.
If you get an error while typing "dvips newtest.dvi you should check your 
tex-installation once more.
Hope you get it fixed.

Regards Jan Kohnert

P.S.: Hope I'm not in the wrong lane because I don't know why your dvi-output 
is garbled... (I know some things are not shown correctly via xdvi or similar 
programs because lily uses some inline-postscript-code, but if this may be 
the reason???)
