I have being using "dvimswin" -- the window version of "dvivga" , it is
available in terminator.cc.umich.edu and mirror(128.252.135.4).

I have it installed on an AT and a compaq 386, the program will run in
windows 2.11 and windows 3.0, the only complain is I have to wait a while
for window to start up and run the previewer. Once the previewer is loaded,
the scroll and previewing is pretty fast even on a 12Mhz AT.
Oh, I should tell you that this previewer use the same fonts file as dvivga,
and dvivga has around 9 Mbytes of fonts in those archive site!

You may look at yet another previewer called dview31. It is faster in loading
and previewing, but it does not run in windows.
