- DVI2TTY
-
-
- dvi2tty is intended for previewing dvi-files on text-only
- devices (terminals and lineprinters).
- The program is basicly an improved C version of the pascal
- program written by Svante Lindahl (see README.ORG).
- I translated it because I could not find a pascal compiler
- on our machine that could compile it.
- The program runs under UNIX and MSDOS without problems
- It should also run under VMS.
- (you may need some site dependend redefinitions, see below).
- Undocumented option: the -e option can be used to influence
- the width of spaces. With a negative value the number of spaces
- between words becomes less, with a positive value it becomes more.
- Just play around if you like, -e-11 worked nice with me.

- DISDVI
-
- Disdvi is a simple hack that dumps a dvi file in a more readable form.
- It is not a spectacular program but use it and improve as you wish.
- I'd appreciate any enhancements made, bug reports etc. mailed to me.

- COMPILING THE PROGRAMS
-
- Disdvi is rather simple and does not need any modifications.
- To compile under VMS, you might need to define an extra macro:
- Add a -DVMS on the command line, or add a line
- #define VMS
- in the dvi2tty.h file.
- For dvi2tty you may find the following problems:
-
- function strchr() can not be found:
- Your are probably a BSD UNIX or alike.
- Solution: #define strchr index
- '/usr/bin/pg' program not found.
- Solution: change the DEFPAGER macro in dvi2tty.c
- To compile under VMS, you might need to define an extra macro:
- Add a -DVMS on the command line, or add a line
- #define VMS
-
- Thats all, good luck.
