 # The converter command has 4 arguments: The source format, the target format,
 # the command, and additional flags.
 # For example, the following defines a DVI->Postscript converter:
-#\converter dvi ps "dvips -o $$o $$i" ""
+#\converter dvi ps "dvips -R0 -o $$o $$i" ""
 # The variable name $$i is replaced with the name of the source file,
 # and $$o is replaced with the name of the target file.
 # The flags argument is a list of comma separated flags.
