Let us not send bug reports to people I do not know. There is lots of
funny history in here but it is not overly useful.

-DESCRIPTION
-
-xdvi is a program for previewing .dvi files, which are produced by the
-mathematical typesetting system, TeX.
-
-Installation instructions are in the file INSTALL.
-
-At the present time, the person to send bug reports to is Paul Vojta,
- vojta@math.berkeley.edu.
-When doing so, please specify hardware and OS version, options used
-when running the ./configure script, and anything else that may be
-relevant. Be sure you've checked the FAQ first, especially for questions
-regarding searching for font files.
-
-Current information on xdvi is also available on the WWW at the URL
-http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi.html
-
-This software has been tested under Linux.
-
-Current versions of this program can be obtained from SourceForge, at the
-following URL:
-
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdvi/
-
-Note that there are two versions of xdvi available there:
-
- xdvi this version of xdvi ("plain xdvi")
- xdvik the version of xdvi included with most TeX distributions
-

-================================================================
-
- This program is the combined work of many people, including but not
-restricted to:
- Eric Cooper, CMU
- Bob Scheifler, MIT LCS
- Paal Kvamme, Norwegian Institute of Technology
- H\aa vard Eidnes, Norwegian Institute of Technology
- Mark Eichin, MIT SIPB
- Paul Vojta, UC Berkeley
- Jeffrey Lee, U of Toronto
- Donald Richardson, Clarkson Univ.
- Ricardo Telichevesky, MIT
- Luis Miguel Silveira, MIT
-
-================================================================
-
-Notes of a historical nature follow. Most recent changes are listed at the end
-of the file.
-
-================================================================
-
-This directory contains a version of xdvi capable of reading GF, PXL
-and PK font files. This version of xdvi is based on the source that
-"came with" X v10r3. Xdvi was modified by Paal Kvamme at the Norwegian
-Institute of Technology, based on the modifications I had made to
-dviimp (a dvi to ImPress converter). This code was again more or less
-directly translated from the web source of PKtoPX.
-
-If you discover (and fix) any bugs in this code, please notify me, so
-I can make the corresponding changes myself.

-================================================================
-Also has path search added by Mark Eichin, looks in TEXFONTS

-================================================================
-Additional notes:
- X11 version now works on the IBM PC/RT as well as VAX.
- [eichin:19880313.1330EST]
-================================================================
-*MORE* fixes (for athena release locker) [eichin:19880722.2058EST]
-Fixes:
- narrow vertical and horizontal lines no longer disappear.
- bogus underlining (which usually occured on even sample sizes
-of odd sized characters) no longer occurs.
- -S number (or typing number followed by S) will adjust the
-sampling fraction; 0 is special cased to mean if anything in the
-sampled zone is set, set the sample, else clear it. Interesting to
-experiment with, though not useful for reading (the default value of 3
-is just right.)
- -display and -geometry arguments work (so do old style forms,
-though they were broken before)
- fixed one of the PK debugging messages to print the correct
-font name instead of printing the pointer as text.
- included Ken Raeburn <raeburn>'s changes to support multiple
-screens.
-================================================================
-More changes:
-
- 1. Incorporated the bitmap under a viewport widget using the toolkit
- (X11 only);
- 2. Added an icon and icon geometry arguments (X11 only);
- 3. Supported window resizing;
- 4. Added a 'c' option to move whatever is currently under the cursor to
- the center of the window;
- 5. Added an 'R' option to reread the .dvi file, and added logic to make
- 'R' happen automatically whenever any part of the window is exposed
- and the dvi file changes (so that you can iconify xdvi, run tex,
- deiconify xdvi, and voila!);
- 6. Added a 'magnifying glass': when you push a button, a window pops
- up, showing the region of the page, unshrunk;
- 7. Added support for gf fonts;
- 8. Upgraded font searching (at our site we use /usr/custom/tex82/gf
- for gf fonts, /usr/custom/tex82/pk for pk fonts, etc.);
- 9. Made numerous internal changes (removed all the lint I could,
- made unshrunk bitmaps permanently resident, which speeds up size
- changing, made table.h necessary only for pxl.h, split up the source
- file into xdvi.c, dvi.c, gf.c, pxl.c, and pk.c, made shrinking occur
- relative to the character's hot point, etc.)
- 10. The program reads SIGIO signals and processes incoming events
- immediately, so that it can stop displaying things that would be
- erased anyway. If these interrupts are not coming through, then
- it also checks for incoming events every several dozen characters
- displayed.
- 11. Further split up dvi.c into dvi_init.c and dvi_draw.c; added
- compilation options for various internal bitmap representations.
- Fixed it so gcc won't give warnings, and so it works with R3 toolkit.
--- Patchlevel 2: --
- 12. Added MAXCHARS compilation option. Eliminated the nonsense with
- generating table.h.
--- Patchlevel 3: --
- 13. Added -altfont command line option and SYSV compilation option.

--- Patchlevel 4: --
- 15. Removed MAXCHARS compilation option. It's automatic now. Made X10
- scrolling smoother. Implemented the moving magnifying glass.
--- Patchlevel 5: --
- 16. Implemented compilation without the toolkit, as well as scrollbars
- and tpic support in X10. Also this version should work with color
- VAXstations, although overstrike characters will come out incorrectly.
- 17. Fixed a bug in gf reading routines: specials at the beginning of
- a character def. were not being processed. Thanks to
- kevin@amath.washington.edu for a bug report and fix.
- 18. Added 'k' keystroke.
--- Patchlevel 6: --

- 25. Implemented arrow keys, expert mode, searching for the font's actual
- size first, the -[xy]offset and -sw options, and numerous bug fixes.
--- Patchlevel 11: --
- 26. Implemented recursive searching for font files in subdirectories.
- 27. Changed +sw to -hushspecials and implemented -hush.
- 28. Modified mksedscript so that the man page comes out neater.
- 29. Added a -keep option and resource to match the `k' keystroke.
