.SH HISTORY
Andrew Trevorrow wrote the original DVItoVDU in Modula-2.

The initial C code for this version of DVItoVDU was copied from Ian
Dall's site, ftp://augean.oz.au/pub/misc/dv.tar.Z.  Ian had, as his
source code seems to indicate, automatically translated it from Modula.

Geoffrey Tobin added a lot of new functionality: font searching and
substitution, option handling, bitmap allocation, help files, and much
more.

Tomasz J. Cholewo modified dvgt to use kpathsea library.

A thorough history of the various versions of "dvitovdu", "dvi2vdu",
and "dv" in the world is much more complex.
