This file records noteworthy changes.
5.58f (9 January 1995)
* EMTeX specials supported by default.
5.58e (15 December 1994)
(Version 5.58d omitted.)
* MakeTeXPK once again does umask 0.
* M[ode] lines in config.$PRINTER override config.ps again (as intended).
* Compile-time default mode removed; back to letting MakeTeXPK guess.
* -o option overrides o in config files.
5.58c (26 October 1994)
* -o and -f once again do not read config.$PRINTER, but a new option
-mode and a compile-time default specify the mode.
* \special{"...} was never supposed to have a closing quote, so don't omit it.
5.58b (14 October 1994)
* config.$PRINTER is read even if -o or -f is specified, i.e., always.
* Paths in dvips config.$PRINTER files are not ignored (this was accidental!).
* Closing quote in \special{"..."} omitted from the output.
* --help and --version options supported.
5.58a (12 September 1994)
* Update for dvips 558.
* psfonts.map etc. installed if they didn't previously exist.
5.55b (8 September 1994)

5.55a (2 April 1994)

* Default paths and config.ps changed.
* -v prints the version number and exits.
* magstep rounding consistent with xdvik.
* MakeTeXPK.in includes gsftopk support (disabled by default), and
allows user envvars to override the script's value. Some default
