	DVIPS needs the included .ps or .dmp files during converting
	dvi-files to ps-files. The searchpath is configurable via 
	config.ps or the TEXINPUTS-env-variable.

	The TEXINPUTS paths are build automagically (tm) 
	using the contents (list of directories) of the regulary 
	updated databases:

		/usr/lib/apsfilter/bin/database.var
		/usr/lib/apsfilter/bin/database.fix

	The first one is created during the installation AND is
	upgraded by cron in a time interval, that you select during 
	installation.
	The second is an file with fixed paths. Your sysadmin may add 
	certain directories which are not covered by database.var.
	Currently database.fix contains:
			/usr/lib/apsfilter/test
			/tmp
			/usr/tmp
			/var/tmp

	The format of database.fix is very simple and identically to
	database.var:

	Every line contains a directory-name where ps-files reside,
	that might later be needed by dvips, when ps pictures or screen
	dumps have to be included in a dvi document.

	Example:

	/home/sledge/texdocs
	/home/gregor/stoch-sim

	These directories would be searched from DVIPS to get some
	PS-files your dvi-files would like to get included during
	printing (converting them to ps).

	The script mkdatabases looks for files with the extensions:
		.ps	.dmp	.eps

	Currently only user directories are scanned by mkdatabases
	to get a list of directories containing these files with the
	named patterns.
