       This  manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The com-
       plete documentation for this version of TeX can  be  found
       in the info file or manual _W_e_b_2_C_: _A _T_e_X _i_m_p_l_e_m_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n.

       The  ddvviittyyppee program translates a DVI (DeVice Independent)
       file output by (for example) tteexx(1) or  ggffttooddvvii(1),  to  a
       file  that  humans can read. It also serves as a DVI file-
       validating program (i.e., if ddvviittyyppee  can  read  it,  it's
       correct)  and  as  an example of a DVI-reading program for
       future device drivers.

       The output file can include all commands, just the  impor-
       tant  ones,  or none at all (in which case only errors are
       reported).  A subinterval of pages  may  be  selected  for
       transliteration;  the  magnification and resolution of the
       ``output device'' may be changed; and so on.  All  options
       are specified with an on-line dialog.

       The  _._d_v_i  extension is supplied if omitted from _d_v_i___n_a_m_e.
       The output goes to _s_t_d_o_u_t.

       The environment variable TEXFONTS is used  to  search  for
       the  TFM  files  used in the DVI file.  See tteexx(1) for the
       details of the searching.  If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses
       the system default.

       The  interactive dialog should be replaced by command-line
       options, as with ggffttyyppee.

       Donald E. Knuth wrote the program.  It  was  published  as
       part  of  the _T_e_X_w_a_r_e technical report, available from the
       TeX Users Group.  Howard Trickey and Pavel  Curtis  origi-
       nally ported it to Unix.
