how about adding something to spec-tr:
\definespecial\dosetuppaper#1#2#3% {\special{papersize=#2,#3}}
paper size is already supported in the other backends for ages -)
is this special official?
Hello Hans, I don't know, but here some lines from the dvips man-page:
It's in the dvips manual as well:
The format of the papersize special is
\special{papersize=8.5in,11in}
where the dimensions given above are for a standard letter sheet. The first dimension given is the horizontal size of the page, and the second is the vertical size. The dimensions supported are the same as for TeX; namely, in (inches), cm (centimeters), mm (millimeters), pt (points), sp (scaled points), bp (big points, the same as the default PostScript unit), pc (picas), dd (didot points), and cc (ciceros).
For a landscape document, the papersize comment would be given as
\special{papersize=11in,8.5in}
It appears to be dvips-only, judging from the hyperref .def files.
ok, so i'll add it to spec-tr.tex thanks for doing the research Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
