The .dvi file is then printed on a laserwriter and the fonts and quality is great. What I am wondering (and if there isn't one availiable, asking for) is whether or not there is some mac program that will convert a text (binary) file that has the tex macros and commands into a .dvi file. And more importantly, a program that will print out .dvi files (or the original text (in teX format) file on my imagewriter II. Any ideas or help? I downloaded a program off GEnie called teX previewer. I hoped that it would do the above, but it doesn't seem to do much. I tried to read a text (teX format) file, but no go. I tried to read a .dvi file, but that did not work either. If someone wants, I can try mailing or uploading the file so it may be played with. Thanx Philip Wong ins_apw@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU
