Subject: Bug#3458: dviljk missing prompt for input

Package: dviljk
Version: 2.5-3

 #!/bin/sh
 echo "What is the default laserjet compatible output device"
 echo "to be used with dvips?"
 echo "      dviljp   for Laserjet+ or Laserjet II"
 echo "      dvilj2p  for Laserjet IIp, Laserjet III"
 echo "      dvilj4   for Laserjet 4M, Laserjet 4MP (600dpi)"
 echo "      dvilj4l  for Laserjet 4L (300dpi)"
 echo "default is dvilj2p"
 read TMP

This results in the script stopping with the cursor in the leftmost
column - not the usual place when a program is expecting user input.
Use
 echo -n 'output device [dvilj2p] ? '
or some such.

(This bug was encountered during a test installation of 1.1 done by
the three of us.)

Ian.
