+\section*{\TeX{} DVI Driver Family---IBM PC Floppy Distribution [2.10]}
+
+At Release 2.08, the IBM PC floppy distribution overflowed the
+6 floppy disks previously made with BACKUP and COPY, and it has
+become necessary to reduce space by distributing compressed
+source files in ARC format using the publicly-available ARC
+utility. A copy of ARC.EXE is included on the distribution.
+
+The floppies are written with BACKUP and contain mostly .ARC files.
+To restore them, do the following:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+:# Create directories if necessary
+:# (adapt names to your local conventions)
+mkdir \dvi
+mkdir \dvi\doc
+mkdir \pcmake
+mkdir \pdmake
+:# The following will prompt for insertion of
+:# the floppies in order
+restore A: *.*
+:# The floppies are not needed for the following;
+
+:# unpack the DVI documentation directory
+cd \DVI\DOC
+\ARC x \DOC.ARC
+:# unpack the DVI source directory
+cd \DVI
+\ARC x \DVI.ARC
+:# unpack PC make
+cd \PCMAKE
+\ARC x \PCMAKE.ARC
+:# unpack .EXE files to your binary directory
+cd \somewhere-in-PATH
+\ARC x \DVIEXE.ARC
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ARC has more capabilities than extraction; to see them, just run
+the program with an empty command line.
+
+Executable versions of the DVI drivers are provided as DVIALW.EXE,
+DVIIMP.EXE, and DVIJEP.EXE, plus XPORT.* for driving a serial printer
+with X-ON/X-OFF flow control which MS-DOS does not support.
+
+The distribution contains two versions of a Unix-like MAKE utility.
+For the DVI development, I use the version in PCMAKE. You should put
+PCMAKE.EXE in your binary directory; rename it MAKE.EXE unless that
+conflicts with a program you already have. The version of Make in
+PDMAKE.ARC supports more operating systems, and is used for the
+TOPS-20 and VAX VMS DVI support; it can be unpacked in a similar
+fashion.
+
+DVI driver family version 2.10 has a number of new features, and is
+now compiled with Microsoft C version 5.0. See 00REVHST.TXT for
+a change history, and 01README.TXT for details about use of the new
+Microsoft C compiler.
