    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.

    
DATE LOADED

HOW TO GET STARTED
******************

    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.
