I am looking for source to a DVI previewer (for tex) that will run on
an IBM-PS2/80 system with an IBM8514 display. If there are commercial
products, I would also like to hear about them.
If you know of ANY publically available previewer for the IBM-PC,
please let me know how I can get a copy.
Thanks,
P. Allen Jensen

Since the delay in publication supposedly is 4 to 6 weeks it should have appeared already, but I understand that there is a backlog... It is written in C, for SCo Xenix/286. Should not be hard to convert though.

It is available by anonymous ftp from b.scs.uiuc.edu, along with the usual fonts in the necessary sizes. b.scs.uiuc.edu is also 128.174.90.2 . As for the Model 80, I have a special version that uses 32 bit instructions and is faster. AS for the 8514, well, we have one, but have done no programming for it - IBM won't supply the specs of the device, only a kludgy software interface that we haven't tried. If you know how to program it, all the screen interface is in one small section of code. It should look really great at 768x1024. Doug McDonald

I have my DVI previewer working in native 768x1024 mode on the IBM 8514A. It will be posted to b.scs.uiuc.edu soon as I am (reasonably) sure it is bug - free. It normally runs in the lowest resolution that Metafont produces normal fonts with stems two pixels wide in - and looks much better for that. It will be called dvi8514a.
