Re: no more dvi?

[Mats Bengtsson]

In the NEWS file it's (hopefully) explained the LilyPond no longer
uses TeX as an intermediate step, but produces Postscript code
directly. Of course, this also mean that you don't get any DVI
either. If you are desperate for a DVI (for some weird reason),
you can still let LilyPond produce a TeX file.
