The complete +documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file +or manual +.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" . +.PP +The +.B dvitype +program translates a DVI (DeVice Independent) file output by (for example) +.BR tex (1) +or +.BR gftodvi (1), +to a file that humans can read. It also serves as a DVI file-validating +program (i.e., if +.B 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 +.I .dvi +extension is supplied if omitted from +.IR dvi_name . +The output goes to +.IR stdout . +.\"===================================================================== +.SH ENVIRONMENT +The environment variable TEXFONTS is used to search for the TFM files +used in the DVI file. See +.BR tex (1) +for the details of the searching. +If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses the system default. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR gftype (1), +.BR pktype (1). +.br +Donald E.

Knuth wrote the program. It was published as part of the +.I \*(OXware +technical report, available from the \*(TX Users Group. +Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis originally ported it to Unix. |
