Thanks to all of those who responded concerning my question about using dvips. I have now correctly set the mode and am happily printing files. However, I'd like to be able to kill fewer trees, and preview my TeX document on my X workstation (a Sun, actually). Is there a previewer out there? What is it called? Where can I find it? Thanks very much. Peter Webb (pwebb@ncsa.uiuc.edu)

I'm the same way... I hate both killing the trees needlessly and the extra
time and effort consumed. I've compiled Ghostscript on my Decstation and
it works nicely except that I have not figured out how to get a decent
display from it. ie. The fonts look pretty bad under Xwindows (as they are
currently defined).
I picked it up from cs.toronto.edu:/pub/X/ghostscript-2.1.Z

Also, there is seetex (or xtex, I'm never sure), available from foobar.colorado.edu. --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu

Thanks very much. I use xdvi. I'm not sure where our people got the most recent version, but there are literally hundreds of copies on anonymous ftp sites. Try:- cs.utexas.edu (128.83.139.9) /pub/misc/xdvi.tar.Z Mark
