I had another problem with the latest version of TeX which I could not
seem to fix by adjusting dvips/config.ps.  It was that an extra 1" seemed
to have been added to the margins on all sides.  I fixed this using 
vmargin, but that wasn't necessary before.  What additional config file
should I be looking at?
