2 perry 28 The __dvitype__ program translates a DVI (!DeVice
1 perry 29 Independent) file output by (for example) tex(1) or
30 gftodvi(1), to a file that humans can read. It also
31 serves as a DVI file-validating program (i.e., if
32 __dvitype__ can read it, it's correct) and as an example
33 of a DVI-reading program for future device
34 drivers.

37 The output file can include all commands, just the important
38 ones, or none at all (in which case only errors are
39 reported). A subinterval of pages may be selected for
40 transliteration; the magnification and resolution of the
41 ``output device'' may be changed; and so on. All options are
42 specified with an on-line dialog.

45 The ''.dvi'' extension is supplied if omitted from
46 ''dvi_name''. The output goes to
47 ''stdout''.

51 The environment variable TEXFONTS is used to search for the
52 TFM files used in the DVI file. See tex(1) for the
53 details of the searching. If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses
54 the system default.

64 options, as with __gftype__.

71 ported it to Unix.
