It comes with a nice DVI previewer and a DVI print program that supports NEC P6/P7 24-pin and compatible printers, HP DeskJets and compatibles, and Epson FX 9-pins and compatibles (and will print to IFF files). It's worked perfectly on all the various TeX and LaTeX files I've thrown at it. The biggest drawback is that it comes with very sketchy English documentation (most of it is in German), but if you know TeX already, you won't have any trouble running it, and the other programs are not too difficult to figure out (both ShowDVI and DVIPrint have English help screens that you can call up with the -? option). It's available on abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov in incoming/Amiga/TEX/PasTeX*. nj
