DviHP  is  a  program for printing DVI files (generated by TeX) on HP
LaserJet and compatibiles printers.


                              Features
                              ========

o DviHP  downloads  fonts  to  printer;  printing  is  therefore much
  faster,  especially when printing large documents. Version 2.1 uses
  PCL5 font compression.

o User  friendlyness:  you  can  set parameters through environmental
  variable  "DVIHPOPTS",  in a command-line when invoking it from CLI
  or  Shell,  via  ToolTypes  when  invoking it from Workbench or via
  graphical user interface.

o It supports printing in landscape orientation.

o DviHP  allows  you  to include IFF ILBM files (raster pictures) and
  PostScript files in your documents.

o DviHP lets you redirect output to a file, even when you're printing
  IFF ILBM pictures and/or PostScript files.

o PCL5/PJL support and PCL5 font compression.


                      Changes from version 2.0
                      ========================

o The FILE keyword can be omitted from now on.

o New  options  XOFFSET  and  YOFFSET let you change initial printing
  position.

o New graphical user interface.

o Improved  break  (CTRL-C)  handling;  DviHP  will  now abort almost
  immediately  -  version 2.0 aborted after it has downloaded current
  font.

o Downloaded fonts can be made permanent.

o DviHP will show you which fonts have been downloaded previously.

o Uses PJL (printer job language) if PCL5 switch is set.

o DviHP  is  now capable of downloading real 600 dpi fonts. When PCL5
  switch is set, compressed fonts are sent to printer.

o DviHP  2.1  introduces  "download files". You can pre-download some
  fonts.
