- Rokicki's dvidvi (dvi-to-dvi for selecting pages, 2-sided print, etc.)
- at labrea.stanford.edu claims to be ready for MSC 6.0, but this appears
- to be incorrect. There are three problems, one of which affects all compilers
- with 16-bit ints:
- 1. MSDOS needs malloc declared.
- 2. The output is to stdout, so setmode is required for redirection.
- 3. One of the '#ifdef SHORTINT' has incorrect cases.
-
- I do not understand how this compiled to a working version with MSC 6.0.
- In any case, I've corrected the errors, and compiled both an OS/2 and
- a bound executable with MSC 6.00A. If anyone needs these, please send me
- a note.
-
- It should be noted that there is a MSDOS program dvi2dvi at simtel20.army.mil
- in pd1:<msdos.tex> which claims to be a faster version of dvidvi.
