[comp.text.tex] dvi previewer for tek, regis and other terminals

idall@augean.ua.OZ.AU (Ian Dall) (11/16/90)

I have converted Andrew Trevorrow's DVItoVDU from pascal to C (and
renamed the executable dv).  The result is available for anonymous ftp
from augean.ua.oz.au.  The file is pub/misc/dv.tar.Z. ACSnet users can
fetchfile misc/dv.tar.Z. It is about 150k.

The conversion was done with p2c. Then it was cleaned up by hand and
the vdu driver interface was cleaned up to be more like the original
modula2 version.

I have converted all the drivers, but have only tested some of them.
It is known to work for vis550, vis603 and vis630 terminals. It
uses PK fonts.

You need an ANSI C compiler to compile this (gcc is fine). Also, it
should work on SysV and BSD. The BSD code has been in there since the
original pascal version but hasn't been tested since the conversion to
C.
