DVItoVDU is an interactive TeX page previewer.  The program allows you to
look at TeX-generated DVI files on a variety of commonly available VDUs.
The "DVItoVDU User Guide" explains how to use the program.
Copies may be obtained from Computing Services.   ! SYSDEP

USAGE:  dv  filename[.dvi]
            [-v vdu]  [-r resolution]  [-x paperwd]  [-y paperht]
            [-m magnification]  [-f directory]  [-d dummyfont]  [-h helpfile]

COMMAND OPTIONS:

-v string   (default value=value of TERM)

 This option is used to tell DVItoVDU what type of VDU you are using.
 If TERM does not describe your VDU, you need to override the default value.
 Typing `dv -v vis550 foo' will tell DVItoVDU you're using a VISUAL 550.
 The current version will accept the following strings
 (in upper or lower case):

 AED483    (AED 512 with 512 by 483 screen)
 AED512    (AED 512 with 512 by 512 screen)
 ANSI      (any ANSI compatible VDU; synonym = VT100)
 REGIS     (any ReGIS compatible VDU; synonyms = GIGI, VK100, VT125, VT240)
 VIS240    (VISUAL 240; synonym = VIS241)
 VIS500    (VISUAL 500)
 VIS550    (VISUAL 550)
 VT100132  (any VT100 compatible VDU in 132 column mode)
 VT220     (VT220 using down-loaded chunky graphics)
 VT640     (VT100 with Retro-Graphics)

-r i   (default=300)                              ! SYSDEP

 DVItoVDU treats the imaginary sheet of paper on which a DVI page will
 appear as a two dimensional array of tiny dots known as paper pixels.
 i is a positive integer that defines the number of pixels per inch,
 horizontally and vertically.  Its value should match the resolution
 of the device that will be used to print your document.
 The Apple LaserWriter has a resolution of 300 dots/inch.   ! SYSDEP

-x dimen   (default=8.3in)                        ! SYSDEP
-y dimen   (default=11.7in)                       ! SYSDEP

 These two options define the width and height of the paper upon which your
 document will be printed.  Both values are specified as dimensions like
 those used in TeX, but the units are restricted to IN, CM, MM, PC, PT or PX.
 The default values specify A4 paper.   ! SYSDEP
 Every time you select a page, DVItoVDU will use these paper dimensions
 to check that all printed material falls within the paper edges.

-m i   (default=DVI magnification)

 This option allows you to replace the magnification used in the
 DVI file with some other value; i is a positive integer 1000 times
 the desired magnification.  The given value should be chosen carefully
 so that the new font sizes still correspond to existing PXL files.
 Unless you know exactly what you are doing you should avoid using -m,
 especially if your TeX source file uses \magnification AND true dimensions.

-f file   (default=/usr/lib/tex/fonts)      ! SYSDEP

 DVItoVDU gets all its font information from PXL files.  These files are
 kept within the directory specified by this option.

-d file   (default=/usr/lib/tex/fonts/cmr10.1500pxl)   ! SYSDEP

 DVItoVDU will warn you if your document uses a font at a non-existent size.
 Rather than abort, it will load the PXL file specified after -d and
 continue so you can look for more errors.  Paragraphs using this dummy
 information are likely to have ragged right margins.

-h file   (default=/usr/lib/tex/dv/dvitovdu.hlp)           ! SYSDEP

 The ? command reads the text file specified by this option.
