dvilj

This is the RISC OS port of Gustaf Neumann's dvi2xx, with changes by Karl Berry and some very useful additional bits by me (Andreas Dehmel). The entire release consisted of a tar archive about 2 MB in size. I won't include everything in this port, as most of that space was taken up by fonts. You can get the entire package from ftp.dante.de or any other CTAN ftp server¹. Most people won't be needing those particular fonts anyway, since they're only .tfm and .vf files to enable you to use the printer resident fonts from TEX; if you only want to use standard TEX fonts you won't be needing any of these.
What I do provide is a directory scan of the original release from which I started porting this program. This and some of the readme files are included in the directory orig_docs.
