Does anyone know where I can get an X11 based dvi previewer that will run
on my RT which is runnning AIX 2.2.1???  A place where I can anonymously
FTP source would be fine, also the binaries would be great.  I seem to
remember someone mentioning the availablilty of something called xdvi a
while back.  I think this is what I am looking for.  BTW, dvi is the TeX
device independent format that is its generic output.  Thanks for your
help--Michael Mascagni mascagni@ncifcrf.gov

Although I have not used it myself (we have an internal tool), xdvi is
now called xtex and can be found in the contrib section of the X11R4
distribution which means you can get it from all the usual places
(expo.lcs.mit.edu and gatekeeper.dec.com come to mind).

xdvi should be available in the x source archive on uunet.

Opinions are strictly my own,

not way to make xtex run on RT. you can get binary of xdvi via
anonymous ftp to titan.rice.edu (128.42.1.30)
