Re: dvi viewer in 2.0
I retrieved dvisvga and dvilx from slink. I tried to install them with dpkg. Each attempt fails with the message tetex-bin is required but not installed.

Re: dvi viewer in 2.0
Ja napot It's not very often I get to use my two words of Hungarian, especially now that Nepkosarsaszag Ut is obsolete. Thanks for the opportunity and the help. I'll try it. Someone suggested I just get xdvi out of the tetex-bin package and inst all it. I tried that and it did not work. Should it have? (The complaint was "kpeshich: unregocnized option `progname=xdvi' " followed by " /usr/local/bin/xdvi: exec: xdvi.bin: not found " ) I couldn't find xdvi.bin in the tetex-bin .deb package. kossonom szepen (?) chuck kaufman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've already done dvisvga and dvilx from slink (frozen) work perfectly under debian 2.0, there's no need to recompile them :) Btw debian 2.0 has the binary package tmview which has only an svga viewer. I split it into dvisvga and dvilx since the latest tmview supports X nicely. -- Madarasz Gergely [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry.

Yes, there is tmview-98.06, which is split into the two .deb packages
"dvisvga" for the console and "dvilx" for X11. Both work just great and
especially "dvisvga" is a great means for having true WYSIWYG right at the
console. These packages are not present in Debian-2.0 but you can easily
fetch the sources from "frozen" and compile it yourself. I've already done
so for Debian-2.0 and you can get the binaries from our unofficial site at
"ftp://ietpd1.sowi.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/{source,binary}"; as
dvilx_98.06-1_i386.deb, dvisvga_98.06-1_i386.deb and tmview_98.06* for the
sources. An updated lyx-1.0.0pre2 package is available too.
Cheers, P. *8^)

dvi viewer in 2.0
I have just upgraded to 2.0. Previously I could view .dvi files with xdvi. It is no longer present. Is there a .dvi viewer (preferably for x) that does not require a tetex installation? Thanks Chuck Kaufman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
