NAME
       xdvizilla - Helper application for running xdvi

SYNOPSIS
       xdvizilla [-no-rm] file

DESCRIPTION
       Presently  (October  2002),  Mozilla has some bugs with helper applica‐
       tions: 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 (including 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 finishing.  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 following line is
       included in the mime.types file:

	    type=application/x-dvi  exts="dvi"	    desc="TeX dvi file"
