+ [01-Sep-88]
+
+This is an interim release of version 2.10 of the TeX DVI driver family,
+incorporating a few bug fixes since the 17-Nov-87 release. For a list
+of files changed since that date, see 00tdir.lst. Newletters 16 and 17
+(in the files 00mail.*) describe the changes.
+
+Two additional modifications especially for the IBM PC environment
+have been made especially for this interim release; they will likely
+be incorporated in release 2.11 currently in preparation. The first
+is to reduce the size of the bitmaps in dvieps.c and dvitos.c to
+allow them to run with the limited memory on the PC; this reduction
+is automatic when OS_PCDOS is defined. The second change is that the
+stack sizes of dvieps.exe and dvitos.exe need modification; by
+empirical experiment, I found that
+
+ exemod dvieps.exe /stack B000
+
+seems to work for simple test files; the default setting of 8000 in the
+Makefile results in a run-time stack overflow termination. This change
+has been applied to the Makefiles as well.
