DVItoVDU 1.1J TeX Previewer is now available from SIMTEL20:

	PD2:<UNIX-C.PRINTERS>DVI2VDU.TAR-Z

This is a compressed tar file and should be FTP'd in "tenex"
(*not* "image" or "binary") mode.

Many thanks to Dave Curry for taking care of UNIX-SW archives on SIMTEL20.

DVItoVDU C-version 1.1J (True PK version with JTeX support)	[12 May 1990]

				Masahiro Kitagawa (kitagawa@wave.ntt.jp)

NAME:		dvi2vdu-1.1J

DESCRIPTION:	DVItoVDU is a public-domain TeX previewer for various
		terminals including Tektronix 4010. (See README.C
		and README.MOD2 for details.)
		DVItoVDU 1.1J is extended to support all characters
		allowed by TeX. Also PK file support is improved.

AUTHORS:	Andrew Trevorrow	(Original MODULA-2 version)
		Marc Hadley and Mark J. Hewitt	(C version 1.0, Feb 1990)
		Masahiro Kitagawa	(C version 1.1J, May 1990)

LANGUAGE:	C

MACHINES:	UNIX BSD4.2, BSD4.3, HPUX6.5, SYSV

Changes from original PXL(+PK) version 1.0
------------------------------------------
(1) PK files are now read on demand.
    Faster than original version if you are using only PK files.

(2) This version supports only PK.
   (PXL support is omitted for simplicity. Excuse me!)

(3) Japanese TeX (NTT JTeX) support. (No side effect to TeX expected :-)
   (Terse mode doesn't support Japanese. Use Box or Full mode for JTeX.)

INSTALL
-------
(1) cp Makefile.BSD or Makefile.SYSV to Makefile and edit it for your site

(2) make

(3) make install

NOTES
-----
(1) No problem to make on SUN4/OS4.03 using Makefile.BSD

(2) No problem to make on HPUX/6.5 using Makeifle.SYSV

(3) For usages, consult doc/userguide.tex which is very well written.

(4) To use with MS-Kermit or NCSA telnet,
	% dvi2vdu -v tek4010 dvifile[.dvi]
    It wouldn't be a bad idea to use alias such as,
        % alias dvitek 'dvi2vdu -v tek4010'

Does the DVItoVDU-1.1J TeX Previewer for Terminals work on a VT240 in the
tek mode?  If so, how can I get it?  I tried ftping wuarchive.wustl.edu,
but I received a "network not reachable" message.  I also tried ftping
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil, but could not find anything but some info files.

Please mail responses to englehar@src.honeywell.com, as I do not regularly
read this news group.  Thanks for any help!

The IP address of SIMTEL20 is [26.2.0.74].
An example session would be as follows:

% ftp 26.2.0.74
Name: anonymous
Password (26.2.0.74:anonymous): 
ftp> cd pd2:<unix-c.printers>
ftp> tenex
ftp> get dvi2vdu.tar-z

The file is about 200KB.
