[comp.windows.x] TeX previewers for VMS

lee@yoda.byu.edu (06/08/91)

I am looking for a dvi viewer for VMS.  I have TeX installed but no previewer.
I often waste much paper on printing to see if the output is correct.  I would
welcome any source code or even image files if some could be found.  There is a
program called Xdvi that works under X11R4 but VAXes don't have the Athena
widget set so it won't compile.  I would appreciate any help.

DECUS TeX Collection (available at wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4])
contains various DVI Previewers including XDVI for DECwindows and DVIDIS
for VWS. You can also use DVIPS to first convert your .DVI into .PS file
and view it with CDA viewer, though DVIPS is primarily for laser-printing
and XDVI is much better.
