DVIXGP converts DVI files to XGP  files so that they can  be
printed on  the  Xerographics  Printer  or  displayed  on  a
DataDisc.  To run it, say "R DVIXGP".

The default file  extensions are  "DVI" for  the source  and
"XGP" for output.  If the <output> file is omitted, then the
name of the output file will  be the same as the input,  but
with  a  ".XGP"  extension.    This  program  will   happily
overwrite any existing XGP file.

Currently, the program  will process  all the  pages of  the
".DVI" file and will print the  DVI page number as it  goes.
To print on the  XGP use XSPOOL (The  line editor is  loaded
with the appropriate command when the program finishes.)  To
display pages on a terminal, use XGPSYN.  It is possible  to
select pages out of an XGP file using XPART.

Every time a font specification appears in the source  file,
and if not done before,  DVIXGP will load the  corresponding
"TFX" file from  the directory  specified in  the font  name,
defaulting to "[XGP,SYS]"  if none. The  file name  scanner
simply ignores device and SCORE-style directory names.

Information  on   the   DVI   format   can   be   found   in
DVI.INF[1,DRF]. The  source program  DVIXGP.SAI[SYS,IAZ]  is
documented  and  (hopefully)  not  hard  to  understand.  It
contains a description of the format of XGP files  generated
in character mode.
