[comp.text] texsun & texx

grunwald@uiucdcsm.cs.uiuc.edu (12/08/87)

I've posted this elsewhere, but here goes:

Previously, I had announced the availability of a DVI previewer for use
with the X-11 window system. I've used the same driver code to implement
a previewer for the SunView window system.

Previously, the X-11 previewer was called 'xdvi'. It has been renamed to
'texx' (pronounced the way you're not supposed to pronounced 'tex'), and
the SunView previewer is called 'texsun' (i.e. someone one from TeXaS).

The package also includes a re-distribution of the dvi -> impress
program written by Chris Torek at the Univ. of Maryland.

The entire package is available via anonymous FTP from a.cs.uiuc.edu
(192.5.69.1) in the file pub/iptex.tar.Z. I have also made arrangements
to have this code distributed via the USENET newgroup 'comp.sources.unix'

There is an installation guide, a users guide and the programs.
Currently, the man pages refer you to the users guide. I welcome
improvements & fixes, particularly to the man pages.

p.s. if you picked up this file before dec 7th, about 24:00hrs, pick up the
file iptex.update1.tar. This includes new previewer source which supports
saving state information.
