DVIVGA - TeX Previewer for IBM-PC with VGA, EGA or MCGA Graphics
DVIVGA is a public domain program written by Doug McDonald, Nelson Beebe,
and others.
It is specifically designed so that you can view your .dvi files
in a size that just fits (from side to side) on the screen, so that you
can get the best possible resolution. Or you can get the whole page
(well, usually) on the screen.
The files for the DVIVGA TeX previewer are stored in this directory.
DVIVGA1.ZIP contains the documentation, executable, and miscellaneous.
DVIVGA2.ZIP through
DVIVGA8.ZIP contain font files. These are themselves
.ZIP files - they are packed this way to make naming them
easier, as the stupid Wollongong TCP software won't allow
anonymous ftp from subdirectories. A more complete set of
fonts for larger sizes is available by anonymous ftp from
science.utah.edu
DVIVGA9.ZIP contains the source code.
Please note that all the files save this one are strictly binary, and
have to be downloaded in the proper manner.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING DVIVGA:
Copy all the files 1 through 8 to your pc. Unzip them with PKUNZIP.
Then read the DVIVGA.DOC file. PLEASE! Read that file first! PLEASE!
This is a very versitile program, but you can't use it fully unless
you read ALL about it!
Then proceed according to its instructions
Note that not all fonts are provided in all sizes: the larger ones
include only the ones normally use as headlines, the half-size and
very small ones only those ones that can't be reasonably substituted for.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPILING DVIVGA
Unpack the DVIVGA9.ZIP file on your pc. Make sure you have Microsoft
C 5.1. Then simply say MCOMP. That is a batch file which will compile
the program. This is easier than using Microsoft's brain-damaged
make utility. In any case, "make" is useless for a program with only
one object file.
