DVITYPE !!!DVITYPE NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION ENVIRONMENT SEE ALSO BUGS AUTHORS ---- !!NAME dvitype - translate a dvi file for humans !!SYNOPSIS __dvitype__ ''dvi_name[[.dvi]'' !!DESCRIPTION This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TEX can be found in the info file or manual ''Web2C: A TeX implementation''. The __dvitype__ program translates a DVI (!DeVice Independent) file output by (for example) tex(1) or gftodvi(1), to a file that humans can read. It also serves as a DVI file-validating program (i.e., if __dvitype__ can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a DVI-reading program for future device drivers. The output file can include all commands, just the important ones, or none at all (in which case only errors are reported). A subinterval of pages may be selected for transliteration; the magnification and resolution of the ``output device'' may be changed; and so on. All options are specified with an on-line dialog. The ''.dvi'' extension is supplied if omitted from ''dvi_name''. The output goes to ''stdout''. !!ENVIRONMENT The environment variable TEXFONTS is used to search for the TFM files used in the DVI file. See tex(1) for the details of the searching. If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses the system default. !!SEE ALSO gftype(1), pktype(1). Donald E. Knuth, ''TEXware''. !!BUGS The interactive dialog should be replaced by command-line options, as with __gftype__. !!AUTHORS Donald E. Knuth wrote the program. It was published as part of the ''TEXware'' technical report, available from the TEX Users Group. Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis originally ported it to Unix. ----
