Hi, is there any good PC LaTeX/DVI-previewer in public domain or shareware?
I grabbed two versions of TeX/LaTex programs and some DVI preview utilities from
Simtel. None of them is satisfactory to me.

SbTeX comes with a good DVI previewer. But it supports only TeX, but not LaTeX.
DosTeX does support LaTeX, but the previewer is quite primitive, and there are
font files missing. There are other previewers (such as CDVI), but none seems
to accept .dvi files other than those produced by accompanied Tex/LaTeX due
to requirement of different fonts.

Could some knowledgeable souls enlighten me out of this? Thanks in advance.
