The current version is a work +in progress; it may not be robust enough for production work, although +it does work fine for simple linear-text DVI files, and now even for +some more complex DVI files. + +Please refer to the man page (man -l ./catdvi.1) or its plain text version, +catdvi.txt, for a discussion of what currently works and what doesn't. + + +Copyright 1999-2001 Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho +Copyright 1999 J.H.M.

If you had to make changes to make it work on your +platform, please let me know. Code implementing font search without the +kpathsea library is also welcome. + + +Release Notes +------------- + +New since v. 0.13: + - More powerful layout algorithm with enhanced vertical positioning + capabilities and better handling of sub- and superscripts in + mathematical formulae. + - New font encodings: all AMS fonts except the cyrillic ones. + - Completed Blackboard font encoding. + - Brought in line with Unicode 3.2. + - Fixed false out of memory errors on some systems (e.g. AIX 4.2). + - Several small fixes and improvements. + +A brief summary of differences from older version can be found in NEWS, +and the full revision history is kept in ChangeLog. + +Contact Information +------------------- + + * The CatDVI project has a mailing list. To subscribe, visit + http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/catdvi-misc + + * PLEASE REPORT ALL BUGS!

I am also +interested in general feedback, e.g. platforms on which the program +works, what exactly you're using it for, or what additional features you +would like to see. + + + -- Bjoern Brill <brill@fs.math.uni-frankfurt.de> Sun, 17 Nov 2002 19:32:11 +0100 |
