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 "${FILE.tex}.ps"
Thanks a lot again,
Artemio
Unfortunately, my previous message was wrong. What happens is that TextMate's "Typeset & View PDF" correctly runs the first command of my script (etex "$FILE") and generates the dvi file, but does NOT go on running the next commands. So if there is already an old pdf file it shows it (that's what confused me), but otherwise fails. What did am I missing here?
Cheers,
Artemio
