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. + +\end{document} |
