How to PREVIEW a dvi file using XDVI
You can use the 'xdvi' previewer to look at your LaTeX .dvi files without
printing them. To use it, type:
xdvi filename.dvi &
This will bring up a window with your document in it. To move to the next
page, type n; similarly, to move to the previous page, type p. If you want to
see a magnified view of a part of the page, you can move the cursor to that
area and then press a mouse button; the left button will bring up a small
window and the right button a larger window. To exit the previewer, type q.
There are many other features that the previewer has; if you want to find out
more about them, type:
man xdvi
Some things, such as postscript pictures, fonts, rotated text, and
other graphics, may not show up correctly in xdvi. To get a more
accurate rendition, you may wish to use the ghostview postscript
previewer instead:
dvips filename.dvi -o
add sipb
athena gv filename.ps
