FACILITY ******** DVIVGA DESCRIPTION *********** A TeX DVI screen previewer for the IBM PC, supporting the EGA, VGA & MCGA graphics adapters. DVIVGA is an adaptation of the Beebe family of DVI drivers by Doug McDonald . DVIVGA supports PK/GF/PXL font formats, and a large selection of PK format fonts is provided. The source code (for Microsoft C v5.1) is provided, though the executable program provided contains some special code to make it run 40% faster on 80386 & 80486 CPUs. This special code is not included in the distributed source code.
