I have added support for opcodes 250 and 251 of DVI, which perform reflection
(switching from left-to-right mode to right-to-left and vice-versa). The
file is called xdvi+refl.tar.Z, and is available on export.lcs.mit.edu
and in Israel on shum.huji.ac.il at pub/X11.

There are absolutely no changes in xdvi, if your TeX does not produce the
above mentioned op-codes, and even if it is, there is no change in the
way xdvi is invoked.

You must excuse me for not putting any documentaion. I have simply forgot to
do that. The main changes however are in the file dvi_draw.c

Misha.
