P86@DHDURZ1.BITNET (mahilata) (05/17/91)
I finished (so far) the dvi to psf and gddm programs, the successors
of the ones done by GMD, St.Augustin.
These programs are set up to read PK files instead of the now 5 years
obsolete PXLs, and they include TeXXeT typesetting
So far, these programs are done for VM/CMS only.
So far, these programs are tested on the memorex 2079, ibm 3192 and
3193 displays, ond on the 3820 printer.
I would send them out for beta testing and proof reading.
I would like you to report your finds, suggestions, critics.
Please note that the programs are free and are to stay that way.
This is in accordance to GMD who gave me their sources under this
condition, as well as to my own taste in that matter.
Please note that I am not going to do the Postscript and QUIC ports in
the near future, and probably not in the very far either.
There have been rumours to this effect that came to my ears.
(After all,there is the question of time expended to be considered)
If someone of you is willing, there is enough of material around
to adhere to in the unix world. There is the old, old QUIC driver
by MIT which did a fine job, and there are the fine PS drivers
by Bechtoldsheim and Rokicki
Out of the same reason, I won't be able to do the MVS port.
Consult the readme and the webs about whats to do.
still looking for the outside of the asylum...
