+\section*{\TeX{} DVI Driver Family---IBM PC Floppy Distribution}
+
+With 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 WC and LC subdirectories have been dropped from this
+distribution, as they are no longer of interest.
+
+The first three floppies are written with ARC and BACKUP. To
+restore them, do the following:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+mkdir \DVI
+mkdir \DVI\ARC
+mkdir \DVI\DOC
+:# The following will prompt for insertion of
+:# the 3 floppies in order
+restore A: \DVI\ARC\*.*
+:# restore the documentation directory
+cd \DVI\DOC
+\DVI\ARC\ARC x \DVI\ARC\DOC.ARC
+:# restore the source directory
+cd \DVI
+\DVI\ARC\ARC x \DVI\ARC\DVI.ARC
+DEL \DVI\ARC\*.ARC
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ARC has more capabilities than extraction; to see them, just run
+the program with an empty command line.
+
+Floppy \#4 contains 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.
+
+Floppy \#5 contains two versions of a Unix-like MAKE utility.
+The top-level directory contains a version that works only on the
+IBM PC; it is the one that I use to build the DVI family. The
+subdirectory PDMAKE contains a version that can be run on six
+different operating systems; I use it on TOPS-20 and VAX VMS.
+
+Use COPY to extract the files of interest from floppies \#4 and \#5.
