It works on the Vax (4.3BSD) and IBM PC/RT (also 4.3BSD) and started out as a port of the X10R3 version. It supports PK files (it will fall back to PXL if it doesn't find PK.) Bug Fixes (since the last X11 version): some visual glitches were fixed. Narrow vertical and horizontal lines used to disappear; not any more. There was a bug in the sampling algorithm that would cause even sized samples of characters with an odd number of pixels to have an underline (and possibly side lines, though that was seen only rarely). Also fixed. -display and -geometry arguments work now. So do the old forms, though they didn't work in any previous version of this. Using screens other than zero works. Addition: Added a S function (either command line -S number or keystrokes number S) to change the sampling fraction (that is, the fraction of the area that is being converted to one pixel to require to be black for the pixel to be black.) 0 is special, meaning any black yields black. (It turns out that the original hardcoded value of 3 is just right, so this isn't too exciting.) This will be available from SIPB.MIT.EDU:~ftp/pub/x11r2dvi.tar.Z (compressed tar file.) SIPB is [18.80.0.13] (also known as CHARON). % ls -l x11r2dvi.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 eichin sstaff 60759 Jul 22 23:06 x11r2dvi.tar.Z % sum x11r2dvi.tar.Z 28118 60 Mark Eichin SIPB Member & Project Athena ``Watchmaker'' ps.
