It also serves as a DVI file-validating +program (i.e., if +.I DVItype +can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a DVI-reading +program for future device drivers. +.PP +The output file can include all commands, just the important +ones, or none at all (in which case only errors are reported). +A subinterval of pages may be selected for transliteration; the +magnification and resolution of the ``output device'' may be +changed; and so on. All options are specified with an on-line dialog. +.PP +The DVI filename on the command line must be complete. The +.I .dvi +extension is not supplied if omitted. The output always goes +to +.IR dvitype.out . +.SH "SEE ALSO" +gftype(1), tex(1), gftodvi(1) +.br +Donald Knuth, +.I TeXware +.SH "AUTHORS" +Donald Knuth wrote the program. It was published as +part of the +.I TeXware +technical report (Stanford CS1097), available from TUG (the TeX Users Group). +Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis ported it to Unix. |
