- if you want this to be handled, but not interpreted (displayed),
- use xdvi (from export.lcs.mit.edu);
-
- if you want PS graphics to be interpreted as well, you need a
- PostScript interpreter (you will then be previewing .ps files,
- however, and not .dvi files and the previewing task is not
- specifically related to TeX anymore);
- ghostview/ghostscript (from prep.ai.mit.edu) is reaonably good
- at that.
