I expect this is mentioned in the docs but my German is limited to "beer" and
"stein" so I found it difficult to make much sense of them.

Quite regularly, ShowDVI quits (most gracefully) without showing the dvi file.
The log file tells me that the problem was a division by zero error.  This
happened once when I had two other windows up; when I closed one, ShowDVI
didn't get this error.  However, it still gets this problem with some dvi files
every when there is only one other window.

FYI, I'm running KS 36.141, WB 36.68 on an A3000/25/40 with standard memory
size.

Cheers to the authors.  ShowDVI is a very good looking program, I prefer it to
many other dvi previewers I have used (on Suns, both under Sunview and X).  The
only additions I would make would be to expand the user interface a little and
to include more key-stroke accelerators.
