The SARA previewer is for the older version of TeX and DVI files and doesn't fit the current need. I believe it also uses it's own, nonstandard, set of fonts. There are a number of issues that need to be thought about in order to do this right. The SARA previewer, for example, expects to find the DVI file on the Mac disk. I'm not sure that this is the proper approach, lacking a TeX for the Macintosh, since that requires that you be able to do binary file transfers from your host computer to the Mac, requires that you transfer the entire file to see a few pages, and limits the overall size of the DVI file to 400 K. --Rick
