DVIDOC is a postprocessor for TeX DVI files that generates output for
character devices like terminals and line printers.

- It isn't really a previewer because the output may not have line and
page breaks in the same place as the high resolution version.  It
however does get interword spacing right. It might be useful for
documents that need to be generated in two versions, for
high-resolution devices and for line printers. You put \input docmac at
the top of the file before TeXing.  (The macro file tells TeX to use a
fixed width font everywhere.) For LaTeX you include the document style
dvidoc.  You remove this command before you do the high resolution
version.

- It was modified from its last incarnation as a Pyramid version.  The
comments indicate that it originated from OSU in 1983. The original is
based on Dvitype.

- It has only been tested in 4.3 BSD and Sun 3.2 systems. It should not
be difficult to figure out what changes need to be made for your local
environment.  You will need the following programs: tangle, pxp (if
your Pascal doesn't have an otherwise clause for case statements), pc,
pltotf (to generate the tfm file), weave and tex (if you want to read
the documentation).

- Since this was a learning experience in WEB for me, I won't be good
at answering questions about the innards. But I will receive bug
reports and fixes gratefully.

- The program is based largely on the work of Don Knuth, David Fuchs
and Howard Trickey. If anything broke, it was probably my hack.
