I'll look into getting it to point to the right version soon. iLaTeX
is currently being revised, and it will be easier to change the version
when the latest revision is completed.

Actually the present version of iLaTeX is 3.2-4.0-not-quite-yet (a
cross between the old 3.2 and the current 4.0 I'm working on). There
is a good chance that I might actually finish over spring break.

xdvi can't display included images, a well-known short-coming.
Using ghostview would be bad:
1) Text would be unreadable on decstations.
2) Text would be essentially unreadable on most machines.
3) xdvi allows enlarging the text to make it more readable.
The owl logo just isn't that important.
Thanks for the comments. I'll try putting more time to get
the new revision out. Take care.
