I'm interested in finding out what previewers are being used under DESQview by the majority. I'm particularly interested in shareware previewers. I know Personal Tex Inc. probably has a couple that'll work but I'd rather get one for free. If you're using one of theirs, please let me know which one it is, and whether or not you like it. Does anyone use DVIVGA under DESQview? If so, how are you doing it? Its giving me fits. While I'm on the subject, does anyone know of a .dvi post-processor for HP LaserJets that will permit you to process only a single page or range of pages? Thanks. -Dwaine

I use DVIEW under DESQview. Works just fine. It should be available from SIMTEL20. The only "problem" is that it requires .PXL fonts, and for my work, the package didn't come with all of the fonts I needed (Jacques Goldberg has created the appropriate fonts). > While I'm on the subject, does anyone know of a .dvi post-processor for > HP LaserJets that will permit you to process only a single page or range of > pages? The Beebe drivers include a LaserJet driver. I don't use it, but have seen it work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitnet: gomme@uwovax.bitnet gomme@uwovax.uwo.ca Internet: gomme@uwo.ca

Dvivga works fine under Desqview for me. It is, however, rather piggish. You need to get the "change a program" right: here is what works for me (its less critical for 386 users): Memory size:400k (try bigger too) Program: command.com Parameters: /e:900 (important!) directory: c:/whatever (not important) options: write direct to screen [!] displays graphics [Y] can be swapped [Y] requires floppy [N] system memory 0 max prog mem size (leave blank) script buffer size 100 max expanded memory (leave blank) Text Pages 1 graphics pages 1 initial mode (leave blank) Interrupts 00 to ff window position (probably doesn't matter) shared program (leave blank) options: close on exit [y] uses own colors [y] allow close command [y] runs only in foreground [y] uses math coprocessore [y] if you have one keyboard conflict [0] Doug McDonald (author of DVIVGA) (mcdonald@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu or mcdonald@aries.scs.uiuc.edu) **************************************************************************** ADVERTISEMENT!!!!
