Greetings, we are using the \pdfsavepos and \pdflast[xy]pos primitives, which are very useful. but they work only in PDF mode. i wonder if it would be not too hard to make them available in DVI mode as well. what do you think? Best, v.

I agree, this feature is mode-independent and the
implementation is already done, see patch 438:
