Overview

TeX and LaTeX are powerful batch formatting and typesetting programs. TeX and LaTeX produce output in device-independent file (DVI) format. These dvi files are usually converted to PostScript format before printing.

DVI and PostScript Utilities

dvips - convert dvi to PostScript
gv - view PostScript files
