So I modified macros.tex slightly so that it is now compatible with pdflatex.

Now do:

latex zine ; latex zine
pdflatex zine ; pdflatex zine
dvips -h duplex -o zine.ps zine
psbook zine.ps | psnup -n2 > zine-print.ps

to get zine.pdf as well.  I had been using ps2pdf, which is the wrong tool for
this job.  pdflatex does much better.  Note that the PNG images are used with
pdflatex so, each image requires an EPS and PNG file.  There is probably
someway of geting latex to do the conversion for you (a la Make), but that's
beyond me.

Now all I need is to get tex2page working so we can have HTML versions...

(BTW, I'm running all this on UVM computers, so I would imagine some work
needs to be done to get this to fly on yourbh.  I don't think, for example,
dvips is available.  I'll look into this.)
