The neat "DVIimport" +tool, freeware by BSR from 1994, already does the opposite. +"BSR2dvi" will perfectly suit the needs of those preparing many +electronic publications. + + "Textures" typesetting does not directly produce a TeX DVI +file (=DeVice Independent output format file) -- a format +essential to such widely ported TeX utilities as:- xdvi, dvips, or +dvipdfm. Instead of a DVI file, "Textures" uses a collection of +Macintosh resources called the 'typeset', made up of segments of +DVI data alternating with segments of private data. In versions >= +7 of "Textures", the only BSR tool able to reliably export a DVI +file is the big "Textures" program; this process is slow (albeit +free in a recent bridled version called "Textures.FREE"). + + "BSR2dvi" is fast, and uses a multi-file 'drag-and-drop' +user interface, or (for eary Macs) the older +'joint-launch' user interface. + + It is hopefully usable under most (or all?) Macintosh +Systems <= 9. Also under System 10(=X) in classic mode. + + The current "BSR2dvi" version is 'beta'; the most +up-to-date version will be at: + + http://topo.math.u-psud.fr/~lcs/BSR2dvi/ + +as well as on CTAN. + + Please report bugs, misfeatures, and misinformation to the +author at the email address found in the program. + + Laurent S. + |
