Hi netters:

I have written a free DVI previewer and printer for MS-Windows 3.x; I
have seen quite a few requests for such a program in this newsgroup, so
I thought it might be a good idea to announce it here. Here is a brief
description of the driver:

DVIWIN is a screen and printer driver for TeX DVI files under Windows
3.x. Its main features are:

  * Fast previewing (uses 386-specific code if it finds a 386/486)
  * Supports graphics for TeX documents: no more cutting and pasting
  * Absolutely WYSIWYG: no surprises when printing
  * Uses any standard PK font files with up to 256 chars per font
  * Can use many paper sizes including the European standard sizes
  * Works with most screen and printers supported by Windows

The memory requirements depend on the screen or printer resolution.
To print on a 300 dpi laser printer, you will need about 4M. To view
and print DVI files, you will also need a collection of PK fonts
(available at many ftp sites).

The program is completely free for any individual or non-commercial
organization. Please contact me for any comments, suggestions, bug
reports, etc.

The program is available under the name dviwin20.zip at the following
places:

FTP site                 Directory
--------                 ---------
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil   pd1:<msdos.windows3>
oak.oakland.edu          pub/msdos/windows3
wuarchive.wustl.edu      mirrors/msdos/windows3



I hope that you find it useful,
