I presume that the arc program didn't croak in file extraction which strongly implies that the distribution arrived OK. 2) Check the dvist.rc file and insure that the default search path is correct. Don't try to implement the server at this point. 3) Install the fonts into \font subdirectory as per the instructions. Basically create a subdirectory for each root font type and then rename the corresponding font file as the size with pk appended to it. e.g. cmr10.96 would be placed into the subdirectory \font\cmr10 as the file 96pk. Now try to preview the dvist.dvi file with the command: dvist -f\font dvist This command assumes that you are running under something like gulam or gemcsh. If not, insure that the program have been renamed to a .ttp file so that you can provide command arguments. If this works, then the programs are ok. If not, send email to me and I'll look into it a bit further. 4) Recompilation? I would try to disable the CLIENT protocol by undefing the CLIENT flag (I believe set in system.h). Thus you should not have to play with stdio etc. Avy and I are always open to help others with our mistakes and of course to suggestions.
