Recently someone posted some information about a dvi file previewer for the SGI 4D machines. I believe the name was texsgi. I (foolishly) did not save the network address for the source code. Would someone please send me e-mail at amburn@blackbird.afit.af.mil with the address. Thanks.

This has been submitted to info-iris because the person whom I am trying to reach has an unreachable address. For: blackbird!amburn@lll-winken.llnl.gov Subject: Re: dvi previewer According to my info, you can get texsgi at vgr.brl.mil. This is 192.5.23.6 according to my nameserver. I haven't picked it up yet myself but I intend to. If it isn't there and you find it elsewhere, let me know.

(svec5@menudo.uh.edu) Not xdvi, but the program `texsgi' is a DVI previewer written in native GL. It is available as both a binary and as source code (with a man page) on godzilla.cgl.rmit.oz.au (131.170.14.2). For reasons that have been explained to me by someone at SGI, GTX performance is worse than expected (I used rectwrite/lrectwrite). It performs very well on PIs.

In the United States, this program is available from ftp.brl.mil and is located in the /pub/info-iris (not sure on the subdirectory, but it's definitely on this site). <testimonial from proud SGI user omitted.> Of course, if you *want* to reach out and touch Australia, go right ahead :-). -- Emery
