As usual, additions and corrections to dhosek@hmcvax.claremont.edu:

DVI to DeskJet drivers:

The only possible answer for you is from this posting from
comp.fonts, but I don't know what system this runs on... can
anybody tell me?

James Krause (krause@uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu) got the format of the soft
fonts out of HP.  He has done a dvi2dj that is pretty spiff.  It does
dynamic font creation on the fly to minimize memory usage... very
simular to the method used by dvi2x2700 in the old days.  James put
dvidj up for anonymous ftp... I don't remember where.  There is a
version on my machine in /msdos/tex/dvid.arc

DVI to DECwindows

The only one I know of is XDVI. A VMS version is available for
FTP from ymir.claremont.edu in [anonymous.tex.drivers.xdvi] Here
is the readme file from that directory:


---
This distribution contains the xdvi TeX previewer as modified for 
DECWindows under VMS.  The code is still under development and some portions 
may not work very well.  I would appreciate bug fixes and comments.
If someone would write and send me a small user's guide, I would really 
appreciate it.    

Do not give dvi filename specifications with colons in them.  xdvi interprets 
arguments with a colon to be a display specification.

To build from sources, first edit XDVI.C and change the defines for FONTPATH
and DEFAULT_FONT_PATH to point to the top level of your TeX font tree, define
the logical X11 to be DECW$INCLUDE, and  compile and link as in COMPILE.COM.
(Please remember that XDVI is a TeX tool, so you'll need to have TeX installed
before running XDVI.)

To use xdvi, define the symbol

$ xdvi :== $disk:[directory]xdvi

To run xdvi,

$ xdvi dvifile

To get you started, a few commands from the previewer window are listed below:

1s : Magnify.
4s : Normal size.
8s : reduce.
20s : Really reduce.
l  : left  (Only if magnified)
r  : right (Only if magnified)
u  : up    (Only if magnified)
d  : down  (Only if magnified)
q  : quit
b  : back one page
n  : next page
2 and <CR> : Go two pages forward
-2 and <CR> : Go two pages backward
space : forward one page
^L : redraw.
