+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label previewers</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>DVI previewers</h3>
+<p/>EmTeX for PCs running MSDOS or OS/2, MiKTeX and
+XEmTeX for PCs running Windows and OzTeX for the Macintosh, all
+come with previewers that can be used on those platforms. EmTeX&rsquo;s
+previewer can also be run under Windows 3.1.
+<p/>Commercial PC TeX packages (see
+<a href="FAQ-commercial.html">commercial vendors</a>)
+have good previewers for PCs running Windows, or for Macintoshes.
+<p/>For Unix systems, there is one &lsquo;canonical&rsquo; viewer, <i>xdvi</i>.
+<i>Xdvik</i> is a version of <i>xdvi</i> using the
+<i>web2c</i> libraries; it is now built from the same distribution
+as <i>xdvi</i>. The TeX Live distributions for Unix systems
+include a version of <i>xdvik</i>.
+<p/>Alternatives to previewing include
+<ul>
+<li> conversion to &lsquo;similar&rsquo; ASCII text (see
+ <a href="FAQ-toascii.html">converting to ASCII</a>) and using a
+ conventional text viewer to look at that,
+<li> generating a PostScript version of your document and viewing it
+ with a <i>Ghostscript</i>-based previewer (see
+ <a href="FAQ-PSpreview.html">previewing PostScript files</a>), and
+<li> generating PDF output, and viewing that with
+ <i>Acrobat</i> <i>Reader</i> or one of the substitutes for that.
+</ul>
