Directory dviware/dviljk
README
This directory contains Dviljk, a modified version of Gustaf Neumann's dvi2xx, a DVI-to-PCL translator. This program does not work with DeskJet printers; instead, try CTAN:/dviware/dvidjc or Nelson Beebe's drivers in CTAN:/dviware/beebe. (See ../MIRROR for a list of CTAN hosts.) See `INSTALL' for installation instructions. See `NEWS' for major changes by release, `ChangeLog` for all changes. See `README.fonts' for information on using the LaserJet 4 builtin fonts. See `../kpathsea/BUGS' for details on reporting bugs and common problems. Aside from configuration, this differs from the original primarily in that it uses the same code for path searching as TeX and my other distributions. I haven't tested the non-Unix support present in the original, or support for any device but the LJ4. However, I'm told that dviljk does work on MS-DOS/MS-Windows when compiled with either DJGPP port of GNU C or with Microsoft Visual C compilers. At least in the DJGPP port, the LJ and LJ2P devices were reported to work. dviljk is free software; Gustaf's original files are "open source", according to http://nm.wu-wien.ac.at/nm/en/neumann. The files I wrote are covered by the GNU General Public License -- see the files COPYING*. You can get the original dvi2xx from ftp://ftp.wu-wien.ac.at/pub/src/Typeset/dvi2xx. ====================================================================== CTAN SOURCE TREE INFORMATION This CTAN source tree has been automatically extracted from the texk Subversion repository at svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Build/source/texk/. It is not possible to use the supplied configure script. In fact, if you call it; you will be told as such. This source can only be compiled in a texk build environment. You will need to download the whole environment, please refer to http://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/. It all boils down to a Subversion checkout of svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Build/source This will be the source tree that you can use for compilation. The CTAN directory is there for archival and informational purpose. For your convenience, the original configure script from the texk source tree is available in this directory as configure.texk.

dviljk – DVI to Laserjet output
A dvi driver for the LaserJet printers, using kpathsea recursive file searching.
Note: this program will not compile simply with the sources in this distribution; it needs a full (current) kpathsea distribution environment, such as is available from the TeX Live source tree.
