Is there a previewer for tex that will run on an ibm pc under micro soft windows that is similar to something like texx or texsun? We could get a machintosh to do the job but to put ARPA/berkeley sevices on a mac is very expensive, where as an ibm pc can be hooked to the ethernet far more cheaply. So the problem is that I want a pc that can preview tex output at the level of texx or texsun, which a mac can do (this is the primary requirement), and is able to be put on the ethernet inexpensively (secondary requirement).

I have being using "dvimswin" -- the window version of "dvivga" , it is available in terminator.cc.umich.edu and mirror(128.252.135.4). I have it installed on an AT and a compaq 386, the program will run in windows 2.11 and windows 3.0, the only complain is I have to wait a while for window to start up and run the previewer. Once the previewer is loaded, the scroll and previewing is pretty fast even on a 12Mhz AT. Oh, I should tell you that this previewer use the same fonts file as dvivga, and dvivga has around 9 Mbytes of fonts in those archive site! You may look at yet another previewer called dview31. It is faster in loading and previewing, but it does not run in windows. --Joseph Ng-- University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign jng@cs.uiuc.edu

I did, and these directories might be useful for anyone who wants to ftp `dvimswin' and `dview31': /usenet/comp.binaries.ibm.pc/volume7/dvimswin /mirrors/msdos/tex Hope this saves time.
