Subject: dvips top margin

I installed Debian 1.1 and found that my tex files were no longer
leaving a margin at the top of the page.  I traced it to
/usr/lib/texmf/dvips/config.ps where a4size was set instead of letter.
I don't recall any questions from the installation of the dvipsk about
the paper size.

I don't know whether this is a common problem or something weird that
I did but I thought I would just drop a note to the net in case anyone
else is having the same problem.

Correct. Also the app-defaults file for xdvi sets a4 paper and deskjet
mode. We really need a script that sets these.

Any takers?
