The thing you want is probably DVITOVDU which displays on dumb VT100's 
and very well on Tek like terminals.  It is a *very* useful tool.  Here's 
an excerpt from a FAQ list:


DVItoVDU        augean.ua.oz.au         original by Andrew Trevorrow
                129.127.4.2             C port by idall@augean.ua.OZ.AU 
                                        (Ian Dall)
                                        pub/misc/dv.tar.Z
                                        patches in pub/misc/dv.patch.Z

    Mr. Dall says, "dvi previewer for tek, regis and other terminals".

The original was written in Modula and there is a C and Pascal version
floating around.  We have the Pascal version working but it's buggy.  
The original Modula/VMS version is excellent.  I would be interested if 
someone has a better version than that what we have on our Unix boxes.
