[This file is ./DVIware/crt-viewers/X/NOTE-xdvi.
It is intended for users of the UNIX TeX distribution.
June 1990.]



Making xdvi requires that you have a good imake or ximake on your system.

If you do not succeed in getting the previewer made on your first run
(especially if you receive a complaint from your system about templates
not being available), look near the end of the imake or ximake man-page
for a reference to "xmkmf" (it generates a makefile while bypassing the
imake template), and try re-making the program using that.  

Be sure to use pk300w (write-white) fonts.  You will find a set of them 
in the pk300w subdirectory of each of the distribution's font directories 
(utilityfonts, cmfonts, LaTeXfonts, amsfonts).  If you use the plain
pk300 fonts, you will have difficulty reading the material being previewed.

Xdvi does not yet work under DEC-windows.  A routine called "XSetWMHints"
must be placed somewhere into the xdvi program.  As the program currently
stands, your window will be set up beautifully, the first page of your 
.dvi file will be presented beautifully, but you will not be able to turn 
pages because the window will not allow keyboard input. (Vol.2, p. 457, of 
O'Reilly's X reference manual is worth looking at, should you decide to 
dive in and do the work.  Let us know!)
