Type +.B u +, +.B d +, +.B l +, +.B r +to move the displayed +page of the document up, down, left or right. This provides a facility to +examine the entire page if the page is larger than the screen. +A +.B p +will display +the previous page. <RETURN> goes to the next page. When a new page is +displayed the top left corner of the page will be displayed in the top +left corner of the screen. +Multiple pages may be skipped forwards or backwards by entering +.B \+n <RETURN> +or +.B \-n <RETURN> +to skip n pages. The program will not skip past the begining or the end +of the document. Prior to display of the first page in the +document several pages may be skipped by including a +.B \+n +option on the command line. This will cause n pages to be skipped +prior to displaying the first page on the screen. +Typing the EOF or interrupt key will cause +the program to exit. +.PP +When standard output is redirected the program will process +the entire document without waiting for the <RETURN> key to +be typed. +.PP +After the document is processed a list of errors is printed +on standard error. This error listing is also saved in +the file dvifile.loh. The creation of the log file may be prevented +by using the +.B \-l +option when invoking the program. +.PP +This is a `bare bones' DVI-to-BitGraph program. Minimal error checking +is done. For more complete error checking +.IR dvitype(1) +should be run. +.PP +Ocasionally there may be insufficent memory to hold the information about +all of the fonts in the system. Portions of the document may be previewed +by including the +.B \-p +option on the command line. This will prevent the preloading of all fonts +into the system and instead use demand loading of the font tables. +.SH FILES +.TP 2.5i +*.dvi +TeX DeVice Independent output file +.TP +/usr/lib/tex/fonts/*.*pxl +TeX default font rasters +.br +.SH "SEE ALSO" +dvitype(1), +tex(1) +.SH BUGS +When using fonts with decent resolution only part of a page appears +on the screen. +.PP +For unexplained reasons, dvibit logs you out when it encounters a request +for a non-existant PXL file. +.SH AUTHOR +Mark Senn wrote the early versions of this program. +Stephan Bechtolsheim, Bob Brown, Richard Furuta, James Schaad +and Robert Wells improved it. |
