+\section*{Description}
+{\bf dvi2tty}
+converts a \TeX\/ DVI-file to a format that is appropriate for terminals
+and line printers. The program is intended to be used for
+preliminary proofreading of \TeX-ed documents.
+By default the output is directed to the terminal.
+%
+% NOTE --- VMS can't pipe output to a pager. Maybe you are lucky
+% and your system can.
+%
+%,possibly through a pager (depending on how the program was installed),
+%but it can be directed to a file or a pipe.
+\par\vspace{1.0\baselineskip}
+The output leaves much to be desired, but is still
+useful if you want to avoid walking to the
+laser printer (or whatever) for each iteration of your
+document.
+\par\vspace{1.0\baselineskip}
+Since {\bf dvi2tty}\/ produces output for terminals and line printers the
+representation of documents is naturally quite primitive.
+Font changes are totally ignored, which implies that
+special symbols, such as mathematical symbols, get mapped into the
+characters at the corresponding positions in the ``standard'' fonts.
+\par\vspace{1.0\baselineskip}
+If the width of the output text requires more columns than fits
+in one line (c.f. the -w option) it is broken into several lines by
+{\bf dvi2tty} although they will be printed as one line on regular \TeX\/ output
+devices (e.g. laser printers). To show that a broken line is really
+just one logical line an asterisk (``*'') in the last position
+means that the logical line is continued on the next physical
+line output by {\bf dvi2tty.}
+Such a continuation line is started with a space and an asterisk
+in the first two columns.
+\section*{Format}
+{\bf dvi2tty}
+[
+{\bf -o}
+{\it file}
+]
+[
+{\bf -p}
+{\it list}
+]

+{\bf -P}

+\par\vspace{1.0\baselineskip}
+{\bf dvi2tty}\/ is compiled with VAXC which converts uppercase command line
+arguments to lowercase. To pass an uppercase argument to {\bf dvi2tty},
+the argument must be enclosed in quotation marks ( i.e. ``-P'' ). Arguments
+enclosed in brackets ( [ ] ) are optional.
+\section*{Options}
+The {\it file}\/ [{\it .dvi}] argument is optional.
+Options may be specified in either a symbol or logical which is named
+%
+% NOTE --- The definition of the following environment variable
+% is implementation dependent.
+%
+DVI\$DVI2TTY or on the command line.
+Any option on the command line, conflicting with one in the
+environment, will override the one from the environment.
+\begin{list}{}{\setlength{\leftmargin}{0.6in}\labelwidth 0.6in}
+\item[{{\bf -o} {\it name}}]
+Write output to file {\it name}.
+\item[{{\bf -p} {\it list}}]
+Print the pages chosen by {\it list}.
+Numbers refer to \TeX-page numbers (known as \bs count0).
+An example of format for {\it list}\/ is ``1,3:6,8''
+to choose pages 1, 3 through 6 and 8.
+Negative numbers can be used exactly as in \TeX,
+e g -1 comes before -4 as in ``-p-1:-4,17''.
+\item[{{\bf -P} {\it list}}]
+Like -p except that page numbers refer to
+the sequential ordering of the pages in the dvi-file.
+Negative numbers don't make a lot of sense here...
+\item[{{\bf -w} {\it n}}]
+Specify terminal width {\it n.}\/ The legal range is 16-132 with a
+default of 80. If your terminal has the
+ability to display in 132 columns it might
+be a good idea to use -w132 and toggle the
+terminal into this mode as output will probably look somewhat better.
+%
+% NOTE --- The ability to pipe to a pager is operating system dependent.
+%
+%\item[{{\bf -q}}]
+%Don't pipe the output through a pager.
+%This may be the default on some systems
+%(depending on the whims of the SA installing the program).
+%\item[{{\bf -f}}]
+%Pipe through a pager, \$PAGER if defined, or whatever your SA compiled
+%in (often ``more''). This may be the default, but it is still okay
+%to redirect output with ``$>$'', the pager will not be used if output
+%is not going to a terminal.
+%\item[{{\bf -F}}]
+%Specify the pager program to be used.
+%This overides the \$PAGER and the default pager.
+%\item[{{\bf -Fprog}}]
+%Use ``prog'' as program to pipe output into. Can be used to choose an
+%alternate pager (e g ``-Fless'').
+\item[{{\bf -l}}]
+Mark page breaks with the two-character sequence ``\^{}L''. The default is
+to mark them with a form feed character.
+\item[{{\bf -c}}]
+Do not attempt to trnaslate any characters (like the Scandinavion mode)
+except when running in tt-font.
+\item[{{\bf -bdelim}}]
+Print the name of fonts when switching to it (and ending it). The delim
+argument is used to delimit the fontname.
+\item[{{\bf -u}}]
+Toggle option to process certain latin1 characters. Use this if your output
+devices supports latin1 cahracters.
+Note this may interfere with -u. Best not to use -u and -s together.
+\item[{{\bf -s}}]
+Toggle option to process the special Scandinavian characters that on most (?)
+terminals in Scandinavia are mapped to ``\{$|$\}[\bs ]''.
+Note this may interfere with -u. Best not to use -u and -s together.
+\item[{{\bf -J}}]
+Auto detect NTT JTeX, ASCII pTeX, and upTeX dvi format.
+\item[{{\bf -N}}]
+Display NTT JTeX dvi.
+\item[{{\bf -A}}]
+Display ASCII pTeX dvi.
+\item[{{\bf -U}}]
+Display upTeX dvi.
+\item[{{\bf -Eenc}}]
+Set output Japanese encoding. The enc argument 'e', 's', 'j', and 'u'
+denotes EUC-JP, Shift\_JIS, ISO-2022-JP, and UTF-8, respectively.
+\end{list}
+%
+% NOTE --- No other files are used under VMS.
+%
+%\section*{FILES}
+%/usr/ucb/more \ \ \ \
+%probably the default pager.
+\section*{Environment}
+%
+% NOTE --- The PAGER variable isn't used under VMS.
+%
+%PAGER \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
+%the pager to use.
+%\nwl
+%
+% NOTE --- The definition of the following environment variable
+% is operating system dependent.
+%
+Either a symbol or logical which is named DVI\$DVI2TTY can be set to hold
+command line options. As an example, if you wish to normally have your
+output written to the file {\it dvi2tty.output}\/ and wish to also have
+the output be 132 columns in width, you may define the logical name
+DVI\$DVI2TTY as in;
+\par\vspace{1.0\baselineskip}
+\begin{center}
+{\bf \$ DEFINE DVI\$DVI2TTY ``{\it o dvi2tty.output w 132}''}
+\end{center}
+\par\vspace{1.0\baselineskip}
+Options set in the environment variable will be overridden by conflicting
+options on the command line.

+% NOTE --- How do you describe where your help files and manuals are?
+%
+For further information use the DCL command {\bf HELP TeX}\/ to obtain
+information on \TeX\/ and how \TeX\/ may be used on our system.
+You should also read the \LaTeX\/ {\it Local Guide}\/ which may be found
+in SYS\$DOCUMENT:.
+This document may be printed on the line printer in CPE-3.102 by entering
+the command;

+Copies of this document may be printed on the laser printer in CPE-3.159
+by entering the command;

+which recognize the {\it X}\/ window system protocol by entering the command;
+\\[1ex]
+{\em XDVI SYS\$DOCUMENT:LOCAL\_GUIDE.DVI}
+\section*{Bugs}
+Blanks between words get lost quite easy. This is less
+likely if you are using a wider output than the default 80.
+\par\vspace{1.0\baselineskip}
+Only one file may be specified on the command line.
