[comp.sys.atari.st] DVIST-- a few questions, plus some TurboDOS

1) I am trying to get dvist to work.  Does anyone have any docs for
   it?  Will it take a xxxpk file and translate it to a yyypk
   file?  If not, how can I recompile yyypk files (on a sun, with
   MetaFont, of course) to the proper sizes?   How does one get the
   server mode to work?  I assume one has to recompile the sources
   on the server machine and call it 'server'.

2) TurboDOS is WONDERFUL!!!!!!  I will not, can not, live without it!
   Especially now since I finally got both the Tandom and a Micropolis
   to work off of the SH204 controller--- quite a bit of free disk
   space now.  It's great!!  If you didn't download TurboDOS, do so NOW.
   And install it.  (If there are problems, talk to the programmer, NOT ME!)
   I disassembled it and I am translating parts of it to see how it  does
   what it does.  If anyone want my disassembly listing, e-mail me...
   but it's not pretty, no meaningful labels yet.  I also disassembled
   dvist to find out what I can about it.  It, at least, has labels!
