At long last, I am happy to announce the release of dvgt 3.5l2.  dvgt
is a terminal-based dvi previewer.  It includes drivers for ANSI,
ReGIS, and Tek-like terminals and the Linux version includes SVGA
support.

The new features in this version of the Linux port include:

        + It actually works: Really, just try it for yourself.

        + Improved security: It initializes the SVGA driver and then
          gives up root privileges.

        + Improved text handling: It now uses the vgagl text routines,
          which may give better performance on some platforms.

        + Adjustable colors: Background and foreground colors can be
          set through environment variables.

        + MakeTeXPK support: If a PK file cannot be found, dvgt will
          optionally call MakeTeXPK to build the missing file.
 
I just uploaded dvgt-3.51l2.tar.gz to sunsite, so it should be in the
Incoming directory for a little while.  Eventually it should migrate
to /pub/Linux/apps/tex.  Let me know if (when?) any problems come up.
