Hi! I need a dvi to ascii converter. I could find some of them in some ftp sites but they either require some special files or a pascal compiler. Is there any program in 'C' anywhere which does'nt require anything else to compile other than the UNIX C compiler and the Libraries. Thanks a lot for your time -- _ ||Internet: skdutta@cssun.tamu.edu ( /_ _ / --/-/- _ ||Bitnet : skd8107@tamvenus.bitnet __)_/(_____(_/_(_/_(_(__(_/_______ ||Uucp : uunet!cssun.tamu.edu!skdutta .. ||Yellnet: (409) 846-8803

How to get dvi2tty.shar from the archive at
Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University:
NOTE: In the following I have assumed your mail address is john@highbrow.edu.
Of course you must substitute your own address for this. This should be
a valid internet or uucp address. For bitnet users name@host.BITNET
usually works.
by FTP: (please restrict access to weekends or evening/night (i.e. between
about 20.00 and 0900 UTC).
ftp archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]
user name: anonymous or ftp
password: your own email address (e.g. john@highbrow.edu)
cd /pub
don't forget to set binary mode if the file is a tar/arc/zoo archive,
compressed or in any other way contains binary data.
get TEX/DVI/dvi2tty.shar
by mail-server:
send the following message to
mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (or uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf!mail-server):
begin
path john@highbrow.edu (PLEASE SUBSTITUTE *YOUR* ADDRESS)
send TEX/DVI/dvi2tty.shar
end
The path command can be deleted if we receive a valid from address in your
message. If this is the first time you use our mail server, we suggest you
first issue the request:
send HELP
