I announced one of these in TeXhax a while back, and it appears in recent Tugboat lists of supported devices. Hey, get with the TeX community, guy! Anyhow, the program is called DVIDIS, and is available by anonymous FTP from venus.ycc.yale.edu [192.26.88.4]. Log in as ANONYMOUS, CD [.DVIDIS], and copy the files DVIDIS.DOC, DVIDIS.EXE, and TEXFONTS.SUB. BE SURE TO USE BINARY MODE FOR DVIDIS.EXE!!! DVIDIS supports only PK-format font files. If you have PXL-format fonts, you can get a working copy of PXTOPK.WEB and .VMS-CHANGES from the same directory. I do not normally distributed sources. Also, I cannot provide copies by other routes (e.g., mail). BITNET and SPAN distributions exist, and I'm told that DVIDIS will appear in a DECUS collection soon. Enjoy! A PostScript previewer would work as well also, I guess. I've never seen one of these. If anyone knows of one, I'd like to know where I can get it. -- Jerry
