I am using the program :
            DVIMSWIN - TeX .dvi previewer for Microsoft Windows     
However I tried to get some of the fonts files as mentioned in
the document for this program, below:

		This is release 2.40 of my TeX previewer for Microsoft
		Windows, dvimswin. You need the file dvimswin.exe, the file texfonts.sub,
		and fonts in the .pk format. The fonts must be stored in subdirectories of
		one directory, all the fonts at 100 d.p.i. being in a directory
		like c:\texfonts\100, the ones for 110 being in c:\texfonts\110, etc.
    The program will ask for the name of this font directory. In this case
		you would answer "c:\texfonts\". The program simply appends the d.p.i. value
		to the string you gave it. The fonts are the same as those used
		by my previewer dvivga, and are available from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil
		by anonymous ftp. They are in the files "dvivga2.arc" through "dvivga8.arc".
		You probably want to start with dvivga5.arc, which contains the 100 d.p.i.
    fonts, and then get dvivga3.arc, which contains the 110 d.p.i. fonts
		used a lot by Latex. Dvimswin.exe goes anywhere you wish, though most people
		will put it in the Windows directory.

I found the dvivga files however I got errors in unarcing them,
(besides the dvivga5.arc). 
Does anyone had success in using this program and unarcing all the
fonts files ?
