I have just compiled dvitty and filtered the infamous form.dvi into good 'ol form.asc i.e. plain ascii file. You may have to fiddle with end of line (unix vs tos \r\n vs \n stuff) but its done. (well sort of done -- the dvitty driver crashed while doing the index - jeez how many contributors give ya such a nice manual with an index even! The last I can remember was UNITERM) The arc'd (that ok?) file is 163K so if some ONE will give me an I net address for anon ftp I'll put it out there where it can be accessed. ___________________________________________________________ |Mike Whitbeck | | |Desert Research Inst. | mikew@wheeler.wrc.unr.edu | |POB 60220 | | |RENO, NV 89506 | 702-673-7348 | |__________________________|______________________________| Any simple problem can be made insoluble if enough committee meetings are held to discuss it.
