I urgently need help with a TeX problem - A paper is due in Germany very soon and I can't print in A4 or legal format. I can set up margins with \vsize and hsize just fine but TeXview (2.0) will not show any page size except 8.5 x 11 in. I can see a line of text running below the solid line on the viewer but I can't see the rest of the page or print it. I have the 3.0 alpha TeX stuff but am reluctant to install it and wipe out an otherwise working system. Certainly, the 3.0a viewer does not work any better than the 2.0 viewer on the 2.0 generated fonts. (I am also nervous about 3.0a as 3.0 TeXview will not show characters in a 2.0 file with Zapt Dingbats - I assume that that is because I generated the .dvi file with 2.0 but I can't take the chance right now on 3.0 unless I KNOW that it won't cause problems.) Can anyone give me advice here? Thanks in advance, Tom Herbert University of Miami therbert@umiami.ir.miami.edu
