As usual, additions and corrections to dhosek@hmcvax.claremont.edu: DVI to DeskJet drivers: The only possible answer for you is from this posting from comp.fonts, but I don't know what system this runs on... can anybody tell me? >From: verber@pacific.mps.ohio-state.edu (Mark A. Verber) Newsgroups: comp.fonts Subject: Re: HP DeskJet fonts James Krause (krause@uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu) got the format of the soft fonts out of HP. He has done a dvi2dj that is pretty spiff. It does dynamic font creation on the fly to minimize memory usage... very simular to the method used by dvi2x2700 in the old days. James put dvidj up for anonymous ftp... I don't remember where. There is a version on my machine in /msdos/tex/dvid.arc ---mark ------------------------------ DVI to DECwindows The only one I know of is XDVI. A VMS version is available for FTP from ymir.claremont.edu in [anonymous.tex.drivers.xdvi] Here is the readme file from that directory: --- This distribution contains the xdvi TeX previewer as modified for DECWindows under VMS. The code is still under development and some portions may not work very well. I would appreciate bug fixes and comments. If someone would write and send me a small user's guide, I would really appreciate it. Do not give dvi filename specifications with colons in them. xdvi interprets arguments with a colon to be a display specification. To build from sources, first edit XDVI.C and change the defines for FONTPATH and DEFAULT_FONT_PATH to point to the top level of your TeX font tree, define the logical X11 to be DECW$INCLUDE, and compile and link as in COMPILE.COM. (Please remember that XDVI is a TeX tool, so you'll need to have TeX installed before running XDVI.) To use xdvi, define the symbol $ xdvi :== $disk:[directory]xdvi To run xdvi, $ xdvi dvifile To get you started, a few commands from the previewer window are listed below: 1s : Magnify. 4s : Normal size. 8s : reduce. 20s : Really reduce. l : left (Only if magnified) r : right (Only if magnified) u : up (Only if magnified) d : down (Only if magnified) q : quit b : back one page n : next page 2 and <CR> : Go two pages forward -2 and <CR> : Go two pages backward space : forward one page ^L : redraw.

In message <935@ns-mx.uiowa.edu>, meadows@vaxa.weeg.uiowa.edu asks about a previewer for DECWindows. A version of XDVI for DECWindows is on the DECUS TeX Collection (August 1989) and a version of TeXx for DECWindows is on the Fall 1989 VAX/L&T SIG Tape. The XDVI program is also on a MAILSERV at MAILSERV%FALCON@AAMRL.AF.MIL. To get a copy send a message to that address containing the "SEND XDVI.*". The files you will receive will VMS_SHARE encoded and contain the C source to XDVI. Ted Nieland DECUS TeX Collection Editor DECUS L&T SIG Tape Librarian TED@NIELAND.DAYTON.OH.US
