Hello all,

I am trying to implement a rule that will display dvi files in plumber.  There 
are currently two rules that cover dvi files.  Neither will allow for rendered 
displaying via a mouse 3 click in acme.  This does work for ps and pdf files, 
so I would like to change it to allow for dvi's as well.  My thought is to pass 
this through a pipe from dvips to page.  I have built and installed kertex 
thanks to Thierry Laronde.  In a terminal all I have to call is kertex/dvips 
<filename.dvi> | page.  Unfortunately the logic escapes me on how to do this 
properly with the plumber.  

I have the following blocks that pertain to the implementation of pdf / ps 
viewing.

type    is      text
data    matches '[a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+'
data    matches 
'([a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+)\.(ps|PS|eps|EPS|pdf|PDF|dvi|DVI|doc|DOC|epub|EPUB|cb[tz]|CB[TZ])'
arg     isfile  $0
plumb   to      postscript
plumb   start   page -w $file

type    is      text
data    matches '[a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+'
data    matches 
'([a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+)\.(ps|PS|eps|EPS|pdf|PDF|dvi|DVI|doc|DOC|epub|EPUB|cb[tz]|CB[TZ])'
arg     isfile  $0
plumb   to      postscript
plumb   start   page -w $file

dst     is      image
plumb   to      image
plumb   client  page -wi

dst     is      postscript
arg     isfile  $data
plumb   start   page -w $data

These were the settings set by the system.  I have hacked around with them, but 
can't seem to get a solution and I am sadly not versed  enough with plumb(6).   
Does anyone have a hint or idea on how I might accomplish my goal?  Reading man 
plumb pages as I await a reply.

Thanks in advance,

Chris Gorman
