Usage

spwx11 [OPTIONS] FILE

Overview

spwx11 is a viewer for DVI files generated by TeX typesetting systems. It's code size is very small (approximately 160 lines of code in C). Unfortunately, it does not offer anti-aliasing display, and hence, its display is ugly. spwx11 is developed as a demonstration purpose; it is a start point of development of DVI previewer based on DVIlib. It uses DVIlib as an intenal DVI bytecode interpreter and VFlib as an intenal font module.
