Loading a file

A dvi file can be loaded by double-clicking on it or by dragging it or the directory in which it resides onto the DVIview icon on the icon bar. If you drag a directory, the dvi file inside it must be called dvi.

DVIview scans the document (which may take a few seconds for large documents) and then loads and displays the first page. DVIview's virtual memory system ensures that pages are only loaded into memory when they are being viewed on screen and so you can preview very large documents without needing that 256Mb Risc PC you had your eye on.
