I have heard of some programs to do these things but can't find them. here's what i'm looking for. 1) a .Dvi previewer that'll work under suntools (4.0) 2) a Tex -> ascii file converter. (Heard of it for I*M's) 3) a way to split up large dvi files so i can print them in 3 batches and not hog the laser printer. (Better yet a way to print selective pages) 4) a Troff -> Latex or TeX 5) a TeX -> Troff (Ick, but someone i know needs it) --------- for 3 i just want to have my own nice TeX files and be ablt to share the file in a nice ascii format to other people who don't use tex. I know of a FTP site with a lot of programs but i can't find exactly what i need Well thanx in advance. :wq -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York ---------------------------------------------- Macintosh...
