Recently a question of the DVIST previewer came up. Well, Avy and I can't say where they are located (two versions, version 1 in binary only and version 2 in both source and binary) but we can say that a third version will be posted in the next couple of weeks. The new version is fully windowed and permits viewing of multiple pages of the same document simultaneously. We will distribute only the binary form for now as we are working (or should I say will be working) on new improvments such as multiple file viewing, multiple resolution viewing and so on. (BTW, bugs included :-) In addition we will be posting a binary only version of the atari laser printer driver. This is a first cut and so is not all that fast (about 2-3 ppm). However, it does (or did) work. We *WILL* post the sources and new binaries in a couple of months with our improvements. A question. The previewer is more or less useless without fonts. Many cannot generate them hence we would like to know if it would be ok to post a subset of those fonts (at 96dpi) and if so, it would be useful to have suggestions as to the fonts required; e.g. cmr10 @ magstep 0,1/2,1. Please be device independent, i.e. cmr10.300pk is not what we are looking for as this must be translated to cmr10.96pk etc. Tyler BITNET fs300022@yusol UUCP ...!uunet!mnetor!yunexus!stpl!tyler
