dvgtk

Here you can download dvgtk-0.2.tar.gz: a beta release of a DVI file previewer for Tektronix 4010 terminal emulators. You can browse the source tree.

dvgtk is derived from the dvgt-3.51 package. The original authors were Andrew Trevorrow, Ian Dall, and Geoffrey Tobin.

Installation requires access to web2c-7.0 source tree. An attempt was made to integrate it as a subpackage of the web2c but dvgtk is still in a very rough shape and does not stand to its standards yet. Actually it should be rewritten from scratch :-).

Installation instructions are in file INSTALL and description of recent modifications is in file NEWS. For a list of architectures on which dvgtk was verified to compile see file MACHINES. For original instructions please refer to doc/README.

dvgtk was verified to work with Kermit 3.14, X11R6 xterm and CONEX 7.1. The maintainer currently uses CONEX by Erhard Hilbig with a 14.4k modem and this package was tested most extensively for this configuration. CONEX works well even on low-end PCs because it is written in assembly language.

The latest version of dvgtk can be found at http://mecca.spd.louisville.edu/~tjchol01/software/dvgtk (this page).

Please direct all suggestions and bug reports to Tomasz Cholewo (tjchol01@mecca.spd.louisville.edu). I will be very grateful for all build reports containing the host type and any problems that could occur in the compilation process.
