Dear user of the dvi2xx driver for the ibm3812 and the lj-family!
The new release (0.51) features in the following points:
The following items are changed since 0.50:
- MakeTeXPK support:
If a pk-file is not found on the fontpath the script
MakeTeXPK (included in the distribution) is executed to
generate the pk file in the requited magnification.
- a bug fix for clipping 1 pixel to much on the paper edge
(thanks to TeX spieler@linac.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de
(Christian Spieler)
- better handling of large bitmap glyphs (reduced memory
assumption esp. in dvilj2p)
- vms support (thanks to Henk de Haan <HAAN@IRIMCF.TUDELFT.NL>)
- various cleanups in the code
- better handling of negative page numbers
- support for 3b2 machines (strange c compiler)
- support for LaserJet duplex printers such as the HP LaserJet
IIId (option -d1 or -d2).
- support for direct inclusinion of pcl graphics
(thanks to Fred Hoare <fred@dip1.ee.uct.ac.za>, README.pcl)
- support for LJ4 (600 dpi)
(unknown spender)
- support for DEC alpha machines (configured via Makefile)
- a bugfix for certain older LaserJet clones, where some
garbage was printed on top of the first page
(Thanks to Rik Faith <faith@cs.unc.edu>)
included in the distribution
- a sample bsd-stype printcap entry for SunOS (thanks to Ted
Cox) and a sample lj3-filter written in Perl (evolved from
Stefan Essers contribution in comp.lang.perl)
- 2up.sty (from tvz@zandtwerk.Princeton.EDU (Timothy Van Zandt))
which allows to print LaTeX documents in two-up style (two
logical pages are printed on one landscape sheet).
Useful in connection with dvilj2p (for LaserJet 2000, LaserJet
IIP, LaserJet III and LaserJet IIIP) in connection with
MakeTeXPK.
- a README file for Dell Unix (Thanks to Fred Appelman
<fred@cv.ruu.nl>
The new distribution may be obtained
- via anonymous ftp from
ftp.wu-wien.ac.at:pub/src/Typeset/dvi2xx/dvi2xx.051a8.shar
(source and msdos .exe-files, os2 .exe files, binaries for DecStations
under ultrix 4.1, rs6000 under aix 3.1 and hp9000/835 under hpux 7.0
will follow with the final 0.51 distribution)
The ip-address of ftp.wu-wien.ac.at is 137.208.3.4
- from Simtel20 (soon); at least pc-binaries and sources
- via sending a short note indicating wether you want to receive the new
distribution (source and/or PC-binaries).
