Ah, I am the author of DVIVGA. It is available by ftp from b.scs.uiuc.edu, also known as 128.174.90.2 for those whose nameservers are naughty. DVIVGA1.arc is the executable and doc files. Dvivga2 through dvivga8 are font files. Dvivga9 is the source. There was posted there for a SHORT time a copy with a bug in it. The correct executable is 75463 bytes long when unpacked. (The bug only bites if you DON'T have an '87 chip and DO display pages where text runs across the top or bottom margin of the page - not the screen, the page.) I installed a disk cache program on my PC yesterday and noticed a 60% speedup in displaying the first page of a file. If you have a copy of this thing in an archive or on a bulletin board, please do me a favor and check the version you have. Also, in the same place is a TeX previewer for the IBM8514a display, in native 768x1024 mode. Doug McDonald (mcdonald@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu)

Would anyone have a .dvi filter for the HP DeskJet ? Pyt. ..hplabs!hprnd!pyt

Hi Everybody, Could somebody help me to get DosTeX working. I have pulled out the DosTeX file from an archive (aston TeX archive to be specific), and followed the instructions to install it. Everything went allright. But When I tried to execte latex.exe amstex.exe files it says "program is too big to fit in memory" (same is true for the plaintex .) Actually they are the preloaded versions of these files. Each of these versions exceed the 600K in size. I thought this was a problem with the transfer of the files from the archive and got the agian. But the same result. Initex and virtex works fine. But I would like to use the preloaded vesrion in order to prevent already slow processing. Perhaps somebody over there can help me to get them work. Cheers, Athula (csd29@uk.ac.keele.seq1@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk) atula@uk.ac.keele.cs.derek --
