My dvi previewer for EGA was submitted to comp.sources.unix about 2 months
ago. Since the delay in publication supposedly is 4 to 6 weeks it should
have appeared already, but I understand that there is a backlog...

It is written in C, for SCo Xenix/286. Should not be hard to convert though.

I have written a Tex previewer for IBM-PC's, aimed mainly at VGA's
and called, logically enough, DVIVGA. It is available by
anonymous ftp from b.scs.uiuc.edu, along with the usual fonts in
the necessary sizes. b.scs.uiuc.edu is also 128.174.90.2 .
As for the Model 80, I have a special version that uses 32 bit
instructions and is faster. AS for the 8514, well, we have one,
but have done no programming for it - IBM won't supply the specs
of the device, only a kludgy software interface that we haven't
tried. If you know how to program it, all the screen interface
is in one small section of code. It should look really great at 768x1024.
