- Hi netters:
-
- I have written a free DVI previewer and printer for MS-Windows 3.x; I
- have seen quite a few requests for such a program in this newsgroup, so
- I thought it might be a good idea to announce it here. Here is a brief
- description of the driver:
-
- DVIWIN is a screen and printer driver for TeX DVI files under Windows
- 3.x. Its main features are:
-
- * Fast previewing (uses 386-specific code if it finds a 386/486)
- * Supports graphics for TeX documents: no more cutting and pasting
- * Absolutely WYSIWYG: no surprises when printing
- * Uses any standard PK font files with up to 256 chars per font
- * Can use many paper sizes including the European standard sizes
- * Works with most screen and printers supported by Windows
-
- The memory requirements depend on the screen or printer resolution.
- To print on a 300 dpi laser printer, you will need about 4M. To view
- and print DVI files, you will also need a collection of PK fonts
- (available at many ftp sites).
-
- The program is completely free for any individual or non-commercial
- organization. Please contact me for any comments, suggestions, bug
- reports, etc.
-
- The program is available under the name dviwin20.zip at the following
- places:
