Good thinking! But unfortunately, this won't work if you do it
like this.

You have to give the same commandline as context's texexec does.
Dvips does not support mapfile \specials, so unless you feed it
the needed files on the commandline, it will read the wrong map
file.

The used commandline is included as a comment at the top of the
generated postscript file, so the best approach is to do a run of
texexec --dvi and then extract the commandline from the output
(and insert the -d 127 , of course)

Good luck, Taco
