I have a program called dvipage, based upon the dvisun program
distributed with the TeX tape.
It previews dvi files under SunView; it has several advantages over
the old dvisun program:
Renders the page at high resolution (for example, using the 300dpi
fonts) and then performs filtering and sampling down to produce
a page at 75 dpi, with grey scale fonts, for display on
a colour or grey scale window. This allows a whole page of
8.5x11 or A4 to be viewed on a Sun screen at one go,
and gives much nicer pictures than the 118 dpi fonts which
are traditionally used.
Nicer user interface, including menu and mouse control, etc.
If there is sufficient interest, I will attempt to get the powers-that-be
to allow me to make a distribution. Note that it is likely to take a few weeks
before I can get through the paperwork. If you would be interested in
such a program, please send me mail. Thanks.
