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.
