[comp.windows.x] xdvi, etc.

tmb@ganymede.UUCP (10/14/88)

The equivalent to xdvi is called texx, and I believe it is part of
the standard X11R2 distribution; if not you can surely get it from
expo.

Let me take the opportunity, though, to ask whether there is a working
version of xdvi for X10R4 available. I hacked up the original version
to do font substitution and not to run out of file descriptors constantly,
but the sources I have are still in pretty bad shape (that's the way they
came, it's not my fault). The file "dv.c" begins:

/*
 * DVI previewer for X.
 *
 * Eric Cooper, CMU, September 1985.
 *
 * Code derived from dvi-imagen.c.
 *
 * Modified for X.10 by Bob Scheifler, MIT LCS, January 1986.
 *
 */
#ifndef lint
static char *dv_c = "$Header: dv.c,v 10.7 86/11/19 19:16:18 jg Rel $";
#endif  lint

If you have something less ancient, I'd like to hear from you.

					Thanks, Thomas.
