Package: apsfilter Version: 4.9.1-7 The apsfilter package Recommends dvips, gs and xfig. This means that you can't easily install it using dselect without dragging the whole of the TeX formatting stuff in, as well as gs and xfig which you might not want either. Surely it is reasonable to use apsfilter without having dvips, gs or xfig ? Perhaps you just want to print some subset of the files supported by these applications ... Ian.
