Hi , I have been trying for several months (almost a year! really) to find a .dvi driver for my HP Deskjet which runs on a 1meg machine. The only one I have found requires PC-Ditto since it is a messy-dos program. A while back I got JRD to compile some source code using his GCC port and with the exception of the requirement of more than 1meg of memory, it worked fine. Well, I finally go hold of the source for the driver which processes the page in separate strips, so it will run on 1 meg and 512K machines. But, the only C compiler I have is Laser-C and this source is the stuff from Utah that is written for about a zillion different C compilers, but none of which is a straightforward port using Laser-C. Anyway, JRD was able to compile the earlier code up for me with little trouble, and this should be a similarly easy port using GCC (gosh I whish I had the extra memory so I could run GCC on these larger source code files!!) I was wondering if there is anyone out there who, as a service to those of us with ST's and running LaTex and have a DeskJet, would be willing to try and port this source over to the ST. It would be a very valuable service indeed!! I would ask JRD to try again, but he has been so helpful in the past I hate to impose on his time anymore (not to mention the fact I erased my old mail from him and have lost his E-mail path :-) ) If anyone is willing to tackle this public service, please E-mail me a short note and we can discuss it further.
