This directory contains Dvidjk and DviVGAk, modified versions of
Wolfgang R. Mueller's DVI drivers for DeskJet 500/500C/550C printers
and for standard VGA screens.  dvi500c, dvi550c and dvivga support
color DVI commands (although I didn't have .dvi files to test this).
Most of the changes introduced into the original code were to make
them work with Karl Berry's Kpathsea library (the original programs
had pathnames of the font directories hard-wired into them).  DviVGA
needed additional changes to make direct screen writes work in DPMI
protected mode.

To build, chdir to this directory and say "make".  This builds all
the programs in place.

I am sorry about the lack of documentation, but the original package
comes with a single LaTeX file written in German which refuses to be
TeX'ed on top of that.  Invoking every program with no arguments
will print a short usage info, and `dvivga' prints the keys you can
use inside the program on the right pane of the display, but that's
all you get.  On the other hand, the operation of the programs is
quite straightforward, so no sophisticated docs should be needed
anyway.  If this is the first DVI drivers you have ever used, try
reading the docs of Dvips or Dvilj to get the general idea.

A note about DeskJet drivers: by default, they all write to PRN using
DOS I/O; if you want direct parallel port I/O instead, redirect
output to LPT1, like so:

		dvi500 -oLPT1 <rest of arguments>

Also note that dvi500c.exe and dvi550c.exe are ``symlinks'', they both
run dvi500.exe, but tailor its behavior to the appropriate printer.
