- This is the distribution for DVIWIN 2.7 which is a DVI driver for previewing
- and printing DVI files under MS-Windows 3.1. The following steps will help
- you install the program as quickly as possible. Users of dviwin 2.0 or dviwin
- 2.5 should only follow the upgrading steps; first time users should skip this
- part and follow the initial installation procedure.
-
- Upgrading from dviwin 2.5
- -------------------------
-
- 1. Copy the files "dviwin.exe", "dviwin.hlp", "wbr.exe", "wbr.hlp",
- "clipmeta.exe" and "miscwin.dll" over the old files.
-
- 2. Read or print the documentation files "whats.new", "dviwin.wri"
- and "helpme.wri". There are quite a few changes in this version,
- so please read these files.

-
- Upgrading from dviwin 2.0
- -------------------------
-
- 1. Copy the files "dviwin.exe", "dviwin.hlp", "wbr.exe", "wbr.hlp",
- "clipmeta.exe", "miscwin.dll" and "ctl3d.dll" over the old files
- (remember that "ctl3d.dll" should go to the windows system directory).
-
- 2. Read or print the documentation files "whats.new", "dviwin.wri"
- and "helpme.wri". There are quite a few changes in this version,
- so please read these files.
-
- 3. Go to the Options submenu and add the suffix \$r to your font
- directory. Otherwise, the program will NOT be able to find any
- PK fonts.
-
- 4. Make sure that you have a statement "FILES=50" (or more) in your
- config.sys file.
-
- 5. If you use a font substitution file, change it according to the
- new method (uses dpi instead of TeX magnifications). The new
- file should be called "dviwin.sub" instead of "texfonts.sub";
- there is a sample substitution file in this release.
-
-
- Initial installation
- --------------------
-
- 1. Copy "ctl3d.dll" to your windows system directory (eg., c:\windows\system)
- If you use windows 3.0, copy also the file "commdlg.dll" to the
- same directory.
-
- 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 sure that you have a statement "FILES=50" (or more) in your
- config.sys file.
-
- 4. Make new entries in one of your Program Manager groups for the three
- programs (dviwin.exe, wbr.exe, clipmeta.exe).
-
- 5. Read or print the documentation files "dviwin.wri", "wbr.wri",
- "clipmeta.wri" and "helpme.wri" using the Microsoft Write program.
-
- 6. You will also need a collection of PK font files in various
- resolutions; many such files can be found in the SIMTEL archives
- or any of its mirrors. In general, you want to get at least printer
- fonts, and optionally screen fonts. as well as for your printer
- Most screen fonts are in the files "dvivga2.zip" through "dvivga8.zip"
- in the directory pd1:<msdos.tex> of simtel. 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.
-
- 7. 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 followed by \$r. In the above example, the font directory
- entry should be "c:\tex\pkfonts\$r". If this step is not done, you will
- see NOTHING.
-
- 8. 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 issuing the "Print" command from the "File" submenu.
-
- I hope that the above steps are clear. If there are any installation or
- operation problems, please let me know.
