+ DVIVGA
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+***********
+
+ A TeX DVI screen previewer for the IBM PC, supporting the EGA, VGA &
+ MCGA graphics adapters. DVIVGA is an adaptation of the Beebe family of
+ DVI drivers by Doug McDonald <mcdonald@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu, @uiucxe.bitnet>.
+
+ DVIVGA supports PK/GF/PXL font formats, and a large selection of PK
+ format fonts is provided.
+
+ The source code (for Microsoft C v5.1) is provided, though the
+ executable program provided contains some special code to make it run
+ 40% faster on 80386 & 80486 CPUs. This special code is not included in
+ the distributed source code.
+

+******************
+
+ 1. Fetch the BOO-encoded ZIP archives from the Aston TeX archive (using
+ either NIFTP or the mail server) and download them to your PC.
+
+ 2. Decode the BOO files using the DEBOO program. DEBOO is on the Aston
+ TeX archive in the [TEX-ARCHIVE.ARCHIVE-UTILS.BOO] directory.
+
+ 3. Extract the files from the decoded ZIP archives using the PKUNZIP
+ program. PKUNZIP is on the Aston TeX archive in the
+ [TEX-ARCHIVE.ARCHIVE-UTILS.ZIP.MS-DOS] directory.
+
+ 4. Follow the instructions in the DVIVGA.DOC file.
