[comp.text] Readable TeX previwers

hugh@ecrcvax.UUCP (Hugh Grant) (04/03/89)

Help!!!

	Is there anyone out there in net-land that knows of a good TeX
previewer for the Sun?? We want to display TeX documentation on-line, and
have tried dvisun and texsun, but these do not display very readable text
on the screen. Does anyone out there have experience of a previewer that
produces good clean screen output?? If so, could you mail me letting me
know where it can be obtained/bought.

Thanks in advance,
	Hugh

Here's an idea. For on-line documentation, format the text with small
pages and display with texsun's zoom mode to get whole pages displayed
in big readable format. Or format with long pages and have the user
use he texsun scrollbar in zoom mode. My point is that the 8.5x11 page
is irrelevant to screen display.
