I have installed new sources (under RCS) on sipbsrc and new binaries
/mit/sipb/{vax,rt}bin/xdvi.new.
Fixes:
narrow vertical and horizontal lines no longer disappear.
bogus underlining (which usually occured on even sample sizes
of odd sized characters) no longer occurs.
-S number (or typing number followed by S) will adjust the
sampling fraction; 0 is special cased to mean if anything in the
sampled zone is set, set the sample, else clear it. Interesting to
experiment with, though not useful for reading (the default value of 3
is just right.)
-display and -geometry arguments work (so do old style forms,
though they were broken before)
fixed one of the PK debugging messages to print the correct
font name instead of printing the pointer as text.
included Ken Raeburn <raeburn>'s changes to support multiple
screens.
WARNING:
These are linked with the X11R2 X Libraries. Also, the RT
version is compiled under 6.0B. Both of these things can or will cause
compatibility problems. The RT version will *NOT* run under 5.5. Thus,
these must be left as xdvi.new *UNTIL* the 6.0 release hits the field.
There is at least one functional change in the way XImage
stuff works, such that recompiling these source on a 5.5 RT still
won't do the right thing - just use the old binary.
