Problem with LaTeX (or maybe PS)

[Whipping Boy]

Anytime I use a greater-than or less-than sign in a LaTeX document, use latex to spit out a DVI file, and then use dvips to make it Postscript, everything prints fine except the less-than sign becomes an upside-down exclamation point, and the greater-than sign becomes an upside-down question mark.

Hmmm...I just got the same thing in the .dvi file...but it worked if I put the < or > in $ $ such as

$<$ or $>$

Must be a math mode thing...

Hrm...that worked.

Thanks a lot.
