XDVIZILLA(1)XDVIZILLA(1)NAMExdvizilla - Helper application for running xdvi
SYNOPSISxdvizilla [-no-rm] file
DESCRIPTION
Presently (October 2002), Mozilla has some bugs with
helper applications: it passes gzipped (.gz) files
directly to the helper application without uncompressing,
and it passes compressed (.Z) files as empty files.
To work around these problems, xdvizilla was written to
look at files and decompress them correctly (depending on
their file types).
In addition, some sites produced tarred dvi files (includ-
ing the dvi file as well as some included figures), and
xdvizilla correctly handles those files as well.
OPTIONS
Only one option is supported:
-no-rm Normally xdvizilla will remove file before finish-
ing. This option inhibits this behavior.
INSTALLATION
In addition to installing xdvizilla in a directory on the
default search path, it is necessary to set it up as a
helper application within the browser.
For Netscape 4.x, add the following lines to the mailcap
file:
application/x-dvi; xdvi -safer %s
application/x-dvi-tar; xdvizilla-no-rm %s
For Netscape 6.x, Netscape 7.x, or Mozilla 1.x, add the
following lines to the mailcap file:
application/x-dvi; xdvizilla %s
application/x-dvi-tar; xdvizilla %s
In addition, it would be useful to check that the follow-
ing line is included in the mime.types file:
type=application/x-dvi exts="dvi" desc="TeX dvi file"
