 10 DVI utilities
 ****************
 
 TeX outputs a file in "DVI" (DeVice Independent) format as a compact
 representation of the original document.  DVI files can be translated to
 meet the requirements of a real physical device, such as PostScript
 printers (⇒Introduction (dvips)Top.), PCL printers (see dvilj(1)),
 and X displays (see xdvi(1)).  In fact, DVI translators are available
 for virtually all common devices: see 'CTAN:/dviware' (for CTAN info,
 ⇒(kpathsea)unixtex.ftp).
 
    For the precise definition of the DVI file format, see (for example)
 the source file 'web2c/dvitype.web'.
 
    The DVI-processing programs in the Web2c distribution are not device
 drivers; they perform generic utility functions.
