Lines: 25 Hi, Despite the demand I am not going to post the support files. Two reasons: 1. I've been flamed n^n times. 2. It'll consume mega net bandwidth and small sites don't like it. I have also received many requests for these files particularly from the US. I'd like to know what sites archive the support stuff (i.e., .tfm, .sty and .tex files - replies by mail, I'll post the list). Oh, and please don't mail root@extro.ucc.su.oz with complaints about my postings. I'm not sysadmin on this machine. On a lighter note, a friend of mine has ported Beebe's dvivga to Xenix. It currently drives VGA and EGA. A Hercules port is under way. There will not be a port to CGA - it's just not worth doing. Beebe will be notified and hopefully the new file will be included in his dvixxx family of drivers. If anyone wants to beta test I will mail the modified files to them. You will need the dvivga (DOS) distribution. Cheers, Glenn P.S. all replies by email to glenn@extro.ucc.su.oz glenn@extro.ucc.su.oz
