The title says it all. I've tried texx, and it gets garbled pages on
our 2000s (qvss displays) and X protocol errors on our 3200s (qdss
displays). Am I missing some patch?

I have written a dvi previewer for X11, which is available with the vortex distribution. If you are interested, mail to vortex@arpa.Berkeley.EDU and you will recieve information about the distribution. Steven Procter

We're using xdvi, ftp'd from charon.mit.edu courtesy of Mark Eichen (eichen@athena.mit.edu). The version called xdvi11r3 runs quite nicely on our Suns and Vaxen under X11R2, with the exception of our 3/260C. On that machine the glyphs overpaint each other probably because of the recently mentioned server problems with XPutImage on color machines. If you use xdvi on a Sun or Vax, you might want to change the default shrink factor from 4 to 3 to make better use of the large screen. Some cautions: If no window manager is running, xdvi may not do an initial paint of the window. The version called xdvi11r2 doesn't work with Suns or other BlackPixel=1 servers. Despite these minor problems I've found xdvi to be big improvement in over texx. Xdvi can display half a page at reasonable resolution and scroll to the other half of the page whereas texx displayed a full page at poor resolution and made the user diddle with a slow spray can zoomer to see anything legible. Nevertheless, it would still be nice to have the spray can for doing brief enlargements, when checking alignment in equations and such. Jim Helman Department of Applied Physics Stanford University
