[alt.sources.d] TeX DVI file previewing using kermit?

peter@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (Peter Wu) (12/29/90)

Hi.

Are there any programs out there that will let me preview TeX dvi
files using Tektronics grahics emulation?  That's what kermit emulates
and I would like to preview TeX stuff when I dial up to the school
computers from home or my dorm room.  I'm looking for a program that
is UNIX compatible that I can install on the mainframes here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dvi2tty, version 3 of which was in the queue of comp.sources.misc when I opted
out (unfortunately, one part had gotten lost on its way to my mailbox), does
this.  Version 2.? and some patches thereto are in the c.s.misc archives on
various systems (including uunet via both ftp and 1-900-GOT-SRCS).

I should have gone to bed two hours ago....

While all the above is true, what I really meant was dvi2vdu, C version 2.??,
which is also in the archives.  (There is no version 3.0 extant or planned, as
far as I know.)

G*d, I love it when I do dumb things like that.
