DVI previewers

EmTeX and gTeX for the PC, and OzTeX for the Macintosh, all come with previewers that can be used on those platforms. There is a good OS/2 Presentation Manager previewer in emTeX, and a public domain Windows previewer (dviware/dviwin). Commercial PC TeX packages (see commercial vendors) have good MS-DOS and Windows previewers.

Previewers available for other operating systems include:

xdvi

The most widely used previewer for the X Window System (and hence almost any Unix or modern VMS workstation); available in dviware/xdvi

Karl Berry's version of xdvi, called xdvik, has features analogous to his dvipsk (see DVI to PostScript programs); it is available in dviware/xdvik

dvipage

For SunView on (old enough) Sun workstations. This was published in volume 15 of comp.sources.unix and is archived in dviware/dvipage

xtex

An older previewer for the X Window System; available in dviware/seetex

dviapollo

For Apollo Domain workstations; available in dviware/dviapollo

dvidis

For (old enough, VMS) VAXSTATIONS running VWS; available in dviware/dvidis

dvitovdu

for Tektronix 4010-compatible and other terminals under Unix and VMS; available as dviware/dvitovdu

dvi2tty

A DVI to ASCII conversion program, for normal terminals; available as dviware/dvi2tty

texsgi

For SGI under Irix; both a binary and source are available, but be sure to get the fonts as well. Available as dviware/texsgi
