[tex-k] (fwd) Bug#302435: tetex-bin: dvips info error

[Hilmar Preusse]

Dear tex-k mailing list,

down here in the Debian bug tracking system we've got a bug report
about a broken web link in the dvips info file.
I had a look at all URLs in the document, replaced them if
replacements were found and commented/deleted if no replacements were
found. Note that I didn't do further proofreading.

Kind Regards,
  Hilmar

X-Mailer: bug 3.3.10.1
X-Mailing-List: <debian-tetex-maint at lists.debian.org> archive/latest/11122

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-7.3
Severity: normal

The URL

	http://www.emrg.com/texpdf.html

listed in the info for dvips seems to be a broken link.  It just brings up
the main page for emrg.com.
