   The first thing you need to do when downloading a binary file to the Mac
is to change the file's creator and type to the appropriate type for the a
application. I don't know what it is for the application you want to use it
with but by using one of the many setfile type tools (DISKTOP is a nice one!)
you can look at the type and creator for one of the documents which already
works with the program and change your type and creator accordingly. 
   A more serious problem however is that at least one of the TeX previewersf
floating around these days is a DEMO version which cannot read TeX documents
other than the ones which come with it. You may be running into that problem.
If you get it to work, then I'd like to hear about it since I haven't yet
seen a stand alone TeX preview which is in the public domain or shareware
AND WORKS on arbitrary DVI files.
