NAME
ShowDVI - Shell script to view DVI files
DVItty - DVI to ASCII converter
SYNOPSIS
ShowDVI allows you to easily view .dvi files created by the
TeX document preparation system. It is limited to ASCII
translation of the .dvi file. To the best of my knowledge
this program is loosely based on source by Svante Lindahl.
DESCRIPTION
ShowDVI is an Amiga standard shell script which calls DVItty
to translate the .dvi file to ASCII. It then "throws" a
viewer (of your choice) as the DVI's ASCII translation.
You may wish to edit ShowDVI to conform to your preferred
viewer. I suggest Most (V1.42) by author Uwe R÷hm. It offers
a nice GUI and allows (most importantly) you to customize
your font selection.
His address:

You can download the current version of Most from `ftp.uni-passau.de'
(132.231.1.10) in the directory `pub/amiga/local/UweR'. You will
also find other interesting software in `pub/amiga/local'...
Any viewer that allows you to use a small font should work
nicely. Remember to place ShowDVI, DVItty, and the viewer
of your choice in your path. Make sure the script file, ShowDVI,
is made executable by typeing 'Protect FLAGS SRWED ShowDVI'
