This is the distribution for DVIWIN 2.0 which is a DVI driver for previewing
and printing DVI files under MS-Windows 3.x. You can use the following steps
to install the programs in your system:
1. Copy "ctl3d.dll" to your windows system directory. If using Windows
3.0, you also need to copy "commdlg.dll" in the same place; otherwise,
you can discard that file.
2. Copy "dviwin.exe", "dviwin.hlp", "clipmeta.exe", "wbr.exe", "wbr.hlp"
and "miscwin.dll" in any directory specified in your PATH environment
variable.
3. Make new entries in one of your Program Manager groups for the three
programs (dviwin.exe, wbr.exe, clipmeta.exe).
4. Read or print the documentation files "dviwin.wri", "wbr.wri" and
"clipmeta.wri" (in this order) using the Microsoft Write program.
5. You will also need a collection of PK font files in various
resolutions; many such files can be found in the SIMTEL archives
(wsmr20.simtel.army.mil), any of its mirrors (wuarchive.wustl.edu,
oak.oakland.edu), or other anonymous FTP sites. In general, you
want to get resolutions for your screen (between 100 and 208 dpi)
as well as for you printer (you will need 300-622 dpi for laser
printers; that depends on the resolution). When you get these
files, arrange them as following:
a. Make a "base" directory (eg., c:\tex\pkfonts)
b. Make a subdirectory under the base directory for each resolution.
The name of each subdirectory should simply be the resolution.
For example, you can make the subdirectories "c:\tex\pkfonts\300",
"c:\tex\pkfonts\329", "c:\tex\pkfonts\360" for the 300 dpi, 329
dpi and 360 dpi resolutions respectively.
c. Put your PK font files in the correct subdirectories according
to their resolution. Each filename should be the name of the
font ONLY. Be careful when downloading fonts from Unix: their
names contain also the resolution. If for example you find the
file "cmr10.300pk" under Unix, you should put it in the directory
"c:\tex\pkfonts\300" with the name "cmr10.pk".
6. The first time that you run "dviwin.exe", go to the "Font Directory"
entry in the "Options" submenu and specify the base directory for
your fonts. If this step is not done, you will see NOTHING.
7. Using a resolution between 100 and 145 dpi, open and see the file
"demo.dvi". This was produced from the file "demo.tex" and it reads
the graphics file "demo.wmf". As you will see, it is very easy to
combine text and graphics using this driver. You can also print
the file by selecting the appropriate resolution for your printer
and issuing the "Print" command.
I hope that the above steps are clear. If there are any installation or
operation problems, let me know.
