ShowDVI(1)                      USER MANUAL                      ShowDVI(1)

NAME
	ShowDVI - Shell script to view DVI files
        DVItty  - DVI to ASCII converter

SYNOPSIS
        ShowDVI allows you to easily view .dvi files created by the
        TeX document preparation system.  It is limited to ASCII
        translation of the .dvi file.  To the best of my knowledge
        this program is loosely based on source by Svante Lindahl.

DESCRIPTION
        ShowDVI is an Amiga standard shell script which calls DVItty
        to translate the .dvi file to ASCII.  It then "throws" a
        viewer (of your choice) as the DVI's ASCII translation.
        You may wish to edit ShowDVI to conform to your preferred
        viewer.  I suggest Most (V1.42) by author Uwe Röhm.  It offers
        a nice GUI and allows (most importantly) you to customize
        your font selection.

        His address:
          Uwe Röhm
          Woerthstr. 18
          8390 Passau
          Germany

        Fido:
          2:246/200.5

        You can download the current version of Most from `ftp.uni-passau.de'
        (132.231.1.10) in the directory  `pub/amiga/local/UweR'. You will
        also find other interesting software in `pub/amiga/local'...

	Any viewer that allows you to use a small font should work
        nicely.  Remember to place ShowDVI, DVItty, and the viewer
        of your choice in your path.  Make sure the script file, ShowDVI,
        is made executable by typeing 'Protect FLAGS SRWED ShowDVI'

OPTIONS
        ShowDVI
