- I have completed today Version 2.07 of my DVI driver family,
- and updated all the source directories on SCIENCE.UTAH.EDU.
- Although this version supports one new device, and enhances
- the support for another, it does not provide any substantial
- change for users, so sites which have already received
- Version 2.06 should not feel compelled to do an immediate
- upgrade.
-
- The major changes are as follows:
- * support for the KCC-20 compiler on TOPS-20;
- * addition of a driver, DVIL75, for the DEC LA75
- printer (thanks to John Sauter for this);
- * substantially enhanced BBN BitGraph driver:
- ** instant keyboard response during screen
- update to support rapid screen
- repositioning and document skimming
- ** large characters now sent as downloaded fonts
- instead of being sent as raster bitmaps
- ** zoom up and down in magnification
- ** coarse and fine control of screen positioning
- ** now works with both white and black backgrounds
- ** character overwrite at right margin no
- longer happens (appears to be a BitGraph
- internal bug)
- * addition of a public-domain version of the Unix
- Version 7 MAKE utility which supports six (yes, 6)
- different operating systems (sources on
- APS:<TEX.PUB.MAKE>), and Makefile's now used for
- building the driver family on all supported machines;
- * updated, extended, and INDEXED installer's manual
- (dvidriver.*) (95 pages)
- * dvijep (HP LaserJet Plus) now handles characters
- too large to be sent as downloaded fonts
- * BSD 4.1 core-dump-at-exit bug fixed (the bug was
- in BSD, NOT the drivers)
-
- If you wish to retrieve these via Internet ANONYMOUS FTP,
- get the file 00README.TXT first; it tells where to find
- everything else.
