It includes DVIHPLJ, DVIDOT (for most any dot-matrix printer in graphics mode), and DVISCR, the best previewer I've seen on a PC. The emTeX DVI drivers can also include .PCX and .MSP graphics files (including DVISCR, so you can now preview with your graphics). emTeX is available via anonymous ftp from ymir.claremont.edu and from msdos.archive.umich.edu (used to be terminator.cc.umich.edu, and it has all the necessary font libraries). Tom Rokicki's DVIPS is available via anonymous ftp from neon.stanford.edu. If you don't have access to anonymous ftp, let me know and we'll see what arrangements we can make for me to get this stuff to you (emTeX is quite huge---6 HD 3 1/4" floppies---so I can't send it over Bitnet; if you can't ftp it, you can get it from the latest DECUS TeX collection or you can send me floppies or something---get in touch with me privately and we'll figure something out).

I have been looking for a dvi driver for the HP LaserJet. I found one that is supposed to work with the LaserJet or IBM3812. When I try to use, it my system just sits there and does nothing. In DesqView, I have to reboot the window when in straight DOS, I have to reboot the machine. I have a 386 running DOS 4.01 with 4M of memory. The last time the history file for the dvi2lj was updated was: 30 Oct 89. The author is: Gustaf Neumann. It does seem to be for the PC. Could someone help me with either another LaserJet driver or a newer version of this one? Thanks, Darren P.S. Could people *puh-lease* stop sending requests for TUG to the list? I could understand that people might not read directions and send things like HELP and UNSUB to the list, but the very message that said the stuff was available gave the address to send to and INFO-TEX@SHSU was not it!!

I have heard that somebody has put a broken version into the Simtel20 archives. The source is fine, the binary hangs the pc. Please either recomplie the program using the microsoft c compiler (check out, the options documented in the distribution are NOT optional), or get a fresh copy via ftp from nestroy.wu-wien.ac.at:pub/src/Typeset/dvi2xx Greetings, -gustaf -- Gustaf Neumann neumann@dec4.wu-wien.ac.at, neumann@awiwuw11.bitnet Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration Augasse 2-6, A-1090 Vienna, Austria Tel: +43 (222) 31-336 x4533 Fax 347-555

I found one that (stuff deleted) >At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I strongly recommend emTeX for >the PC, (more stuff deleted) Is just me (or an old version of dvihplj) but when we used dvihplj we wouldn't get page numbers at the top of our documents, so we went back to dvijep....much more stable.
