In the near future we will have a number of VAX-Stations running
VMS (with UIS of course :-) )
As we also use TeX, it would be very useful to have a a
previewer for DVI files.

I have written one that works but is not the greatest. Since I can't figure out how to define fonts on vaxstations, I write each character as a bit image. Also, I could not begin to distribute the font files but local sites should be able to build them if they also have metafont. One problem with the fonts is that with no magnification, they are almost unreadable. But, the previewer has the ability to magnify the document to make it more readable, or not to be able to see an entire page at once. Also, the program is in ADA so you will have to be able to compile ADA. Any interest? If enough interest, I'll post it to mod.sources. -- Random (Randy Buckland) Research Triangle Institute ...!mcnc!rti-sel!rcb
