I use DVIEW under DESQview.  Works just fine.  It should be available from
SIMTEL20.  The only "problem" is that it requires .PXL fonts, and for my work,
the package didn't come with all of the fonts I needed (Jacques Goldberg has
created the appropriate fonts).

The Beebe drivers include a LaserJet driver.  I don't use it, but have seen it
work.
