My suggestion is that you you write yourself a little script call it mytex that calls plain tex and then dvips / ps2pdf If mytex is on your PATH then you can use mytex as the typesetting engine in the %! TEX directive.

Brad,
Thanks a lot for your help! Although I am a total newbie with TextMate, after some experiment I came up with the following script called "alttex", which works like a charm (I'm posting it in case it may be of help to someone else):
FILE="${TM_LATEX_MASTER:-$TM_FILEPATH}" etex "$FILE" && dvips -t a4 "${FILE%.tex}.dvi" && ps2pdf "$ {FILE.tex}.ps"
^missing a % here
I think that should fix it.

Brad,
That indeed fixed it. However, there's still a minor nag, namely if there is no pdf file corresponding to the tex file when you run the script TextMate doesn't open the newly generated pdf file after the script runs, and it wrongly complains that it doesn't exist (see my previous posting for more details). (The second and successive times everything works as expected, i.e, the existing pdf file is reloaded and brought to the front). Do you know how this (minor) problem could be fixed?
Cheers,
Artemio
