- NAME
- dvitype - translate a dvi file for humans
-
- SYNOPSIS
- dvitype dvi_file_name
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The dvitype program translates a DVI (DeVice Independent)
- file (output by, for example, tex(1) or gftodvi(1) to a file
- that humans can read. It also serves as a DVI file-
- validating program (i.e., if dvitype can read it, it's
- correct) and as an example of a DVI-reading program for
- future device drivers.
-
- The output file can include all commands, just the important
- ones, or none at all (in which case only errors are
- reported). A subinterval of pages may be selected for
- transliteration; the magnification and resolution of the
- ``output device'' may be changed; and so on. All options are
- specified with an on-line dialog.
-
- The dvi_file_name on the command line must be complete. The
- .dvi extension is not supplied if omitted. The output goes
- to stdout.
-
- ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
- The environment variable TEXFONTS is used to search for the
- TFM files used in the DVI file. See tex(1) for the details
- of the searching. If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses the
- system default: .

- Group. Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis originally ported it
- to Unix.
