Enough people asked for a summary that it merits posting.

Thanks to the good services of the ubiquitous  dhosek@hmcvax.claremont.edu,
two DVI viewers for Tek terminals were pointed out at ymir.claremont.edu,
both of which run only on VMS.

DVIOUT is written in C, and can be found in [.tex.drivers.dviout].
DVItoVDU is written in Modula-2, and is in [.tex.drivers.dvitovdu3_0].

I tried to compile DVIOUT on my local VMS account, but ran out of disk space.
The sysop is looking into installing it, and I can let anyone who's interested
know if I ever see it working.  We don't have a Modula-2 compiler on line,
so DVItoVDU is out.

Sorry, but I didn't get any reports of Tek previewers that run on UNIX.  Maybe
somebody can track down a PSPreviewer for Tek terminals that runs on UNIX.  
I leave it to you.
