+ DVI2TTY
+
+
+dvi2tty is intended for previewing dvi-files on text-only
+devices (terminals and lineprinters).
+The program is basically an improved C version of the pascal
+program written by Svante Lindahl (see README.ORG).
+I translated it because I could not find a pascal compiler
+on our machine that could compile it.
+The program runs under UNIX and MSDOS without problems
+It should also run under VMS.
+(you may need some site dependend redefinitions, see below).
+
+
+ DISDVI
+
+Disdvi is a simple hack that dumps a dvi file in a more readable form.
+It is not a spectacular program but use it and improve as you wish.
+I'd appreciate any enhancements made, bug reports etc. mailed to me.
+
+
+ COMPILING THE PROGRAMS
+
+Disdvi is rather simple and does not need any modifications.
+To compile under VMS, you might need to define an extra macro:
+Add a -DVMS on the command line, or add a line
+ #define VMS
+in the dvi2tty.h file.
+For dvi2tty you may find the following problems:
+
+ function strchr() can not be found:
+ Your are probably a BSD UNIX or alike.
+ Solution: #define strchr index
+ '/usr/bin/pg' program not found.
+ Solution: change the DEFPAGER macro in dvi2tty.c
+
+When set, just type:
+
+ make
+
+to build disdvi and dvi2tty
+
+dvi2tty is licensed under the GPL version 2. It has had a history of many
+authors, I am just one of the latest maintainers.
+
+Thats all, good luck.
+
