Hi,
A number of people here use their pc's to access our Unix system.
I would like to put together a package to allow them
to preview TeX dvi files on their pc from the Unix machine.
To do this I need two packages:
1. A communications package that runs on an ibm-pc or compatible that
also supports graphics (cga,ega, or hercules cards) commands sent
by the machine being accessed. I have heard
of several packages that have built in tektronics emulators.
(tekkerm - kermit with tektronics emulation, Emu-Tek etc).
2. A dvi previewer that runs under Unix 4.3 for the type of graphics
supported by #1 above.
Has anyone come up with such a combination or had any experience
trying? From what I have seen so far the tektronics emulator
or vt220 emulator (I think the vt220 is a graphics terminal)
seem to be good possibilities. Does anyone
have any information on a dvi previewer for for either the tektronics
or the vt220? Public domain or commercial.
You can respond via e-mail and I will post a summary.
Any information you have would be appreciated.
