[comp.text.tex] previewers for S DECstation

jeburke@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU (John Burke) (03/06/90)

Can anyone out there supply a pointer to a TeX previewer for the
DECstation 3100?  It must run under DECwindows, DEC's version of
X-windows.  Ideally, it should be one that has been proved to work on
the 3100, but generic X previewers should also be okay.

Thank you

The generic xdvi program that comes with X11 R3 is WONDERFUL on the
destation.  It comes up quickly and gives a very good representation of
the output.  I now (rarely) print anything with errors because I can
easily check it using the previewer.
