Political correctness fades fast.

It seems to me that in 2001 you should be migrating
from dvips to dvipdf(m) by one Mark Wicks; it has
excellent hypertext, and graphics support (direct
assimilation of TIF, PNG, JPEG, and PDF). It is now
part of CMacTeX.

Incidentally, dvipdf(m) is a direct outgrowth of
dvipdf, so Rokicki does not feel slighted.

But even dvipdf(m) is not politically correct!
Nowadays, the politically correct use pdftex ---
which however has noticeable stability and
documentation problems...
