SUBJECT: TeX previewers
Hello,
I got a copy of DVItoVDU from Kellerman & Smith, and it is fantastic.
However, I have a old IMLAC graphics terminal that would be perfect for
viewing TeX plots - the screen is big enough to hold a full-size 8 1/2 x 11
image. Unfortunately, I don't have a Modula-2 compiler, and I don't relish
the thought of translating all of that Modula-2 code into VAX Pascal. Does
anyone have a TeX previewer written in any other language that I could add
IMLAC terminal support to? What about a _cheap_ Modula-2 compiler? We
have an 11/730 running VMS 4.5 with FORTRAN and DIBOL, and have access to
an 8600 with Pascal, PL/I, and C. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I hate to see a good graphics terminal go unused.
Thank you,
Rob Malouf
