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. + +\end{document} |
