Subject: dviljk 1.0, dvipsk 5.528a, and xdvik 1.7 available
I've released version 1.0 of dviljk, a modified version of
Gustaf Neumann's dvi2xx driver (version 0.51a9) for HP LaserJet printers,
and also new versions of dvipsk
(my modified version of Tom Rokicki's dvips)
and xdvik
(ditto ditto Paul Vojta's xdvi).
You can get them by ftp:
ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz
Soon they should be on the ctan hosts as well, in tex-archive/dvi.
Aside from kpathsea-ification and Autoconf-ization, dviljk also supports
the LaserJet 4 builtin fonts (thanks to Norm Walsh, who built the actual
TeX TFM's from HP TFM's). (The alpha9 version of the original dvi2xx
also does so, and Eberhard Mattes' dvi-to-lj driver will probably do so
also in the near future, so you aren't stuck with my idiosyncratic
software just to use the builtin fonts.)
The external ls-R database below isn't optimal yet -- the list of font
directories still winds up being built, because of searches for
nonexistent vf files. I'll address this next time out.
Here's the NEWS for the other releases:
kpathsea 1.7
* Searches can use an externally-built ls-R ``database'', for speed.
* `VPATH = .' lines removed from generated Makefile, for broken Sun make.
* A path foo//tfm finds foo/tfm as well as foo/*/tfm.
xdvik 1.7 (1 March 1994)
* Use DEFAULT_FIG_PATH, instead of DEFAULT_TEX_PATH (they are the same
by default, anyway).
* EPS displays take the magnification into account (thanks to Jon Peatfield).
* EPS displays support the angle option from psfig 1.10 (thanks to Uwe Bon).
* The Metafont mode for MakeTeXPK can be set via the command line, an X
resource, an environment variable, or at compile-time.
* Support for the SelFile widget (thanks to Jon Peatfield).
* XDVIFONTS only overrides font-related paths, not all paths.
dvipsk 5.528a
* DVIPSFONTS only overrides font-related paths.
* By default, append mode to MakeTeXPK installation directory.
* Update for dvips 5.528.
Happy TeXing,
