DVIDD is a program to display the contents of a DVI file (the output of TeX)
on a Data Disc screen.	To run the program, say

	.r dvidd;filename

where "filename" is the name of your DVI file (extension ".DVI" is optional).
The following optional switches may be used in the command line, after the
filename:

	/nP	Begin displaying at page n
	/M	Use the magnification in the DVI file
	/-M	Use 1500 instead of the magnification in the DVI file
		(this is currently the default setting)
	/nM	Use n instead of the magnification in the DVI file

DVIDD reads fonts in the "PXL" format output by METAFONT.  This currently only
includes Computer Modern fonts.  The default area for font files is [PXL,SYS].

Currently a full set of CM fonts at magnification 1.5 exists.  Some of the new
CM fonts (the "AM" fonts) exist also, at the same magnification.  If your
document uses another magnification, the program will show it at magnification
1.5 anyway, unless you use the "/M" switch (above).  If this causes the pages to
be too wide for the screen, use the ← and → commands to move around and see
everything.

If a font requested in the DVI file does not exist, the program will search for
a TFM file instead.  If this is found, it will display the rest of the document
with appropriate blank space for the characters in the font not found.	If there
is neither a PXL file nor a TFM file, it gives up.

While running the program, you may use the following commands (where "n" is
any string of digits):

	<form>	Go forward (about 3/4 of a screenful)
	#<form> Go forward # windowfuls
	0<form> Go forward 1/2 window
	α<form> Go forward, changing pages if necessary
	<vt>	Go back
	#<vt>	Go back # windowfuls
	0<vt>	Go back 1/2 window
	α<vt>	Go back, changing pages if necessary
	←	Move text left
	→	Move text right
	B	Glitch screen up from bottom
	#B	Glitch sceen up # times from bottom
	E	Exit from the program" & "
	L	Go to the top of the page
	∞L	Go to the bottom of the page
	#L	Show portion of page including the #% point
	P	Go to the next page
	+P	Go to the next page
	-P	Go to the previous page
	#P	Go to page #
	+#P	Go forward # pages
	-#P	Go back # pages
	T	Glitch screen down from top
	#T	Glitch screen down # times from top
	V	Refresh display
	βV	Clear and refresh display
	ALT	Abort partially typed command
	ε	Edit a file with E
	λ	Edit a file with E, readonly mode
	?	Display list of commands

<Control> and <meta> are optional, except where shown as α and β.  This set
of commands has been made to resemble the commands of E as much as possible.
