A copy of ARC.EXE is included on the distribution. The floppies are written with BACKUP and contain mostly .ARC files. To restore them, do the following: \begin{verbatim} :# Create directories if necessary :# (adapt names to your local conventions) mkdir \dvi mkdir \dvi\doc mkdir \pcmake mkdir \pdmake :# The following will prompt for insertion of :# the floppies in order restore A: *.* :# The floppies are not needed for the following; :# unpack the DVI documentation directory cd \DVI\DOC \ARC x \DOC.ARC :# unpack the DVI source directory cd \DVI \ARC x \DVI.ARC :# unpack PC make cd \PCMAKE \ARC x \PCMAKE.ARC :# unpack .EXE files to your binary directory cd \somewhere-in-PATH \ARC x \DVIEXE.ARC \end{verbatim} ARC has more capabilities than extraction; to see them, just run the program with an empty command line. Executable versions of the DVI drivers are provided as DVIALW.EXE, DVIIMP.EXE, and DVIJEP.EXE, plus XPORT.* for driving a serial printer with X-ON/X-OFF flow control which MS-DOS does not support. The distribution contains two versions of a Unix-like MAKE utility. For the DVI development, I use the version in PCMAKE. You should put PCMAKE.EXE in your binary directory; rename it MAKE.EXE unless that conflicts with a program you already have. The version of Make in PDMAKE.ARC supports more operating systems, and is used for the TOPS-20 and VAX VMS DVI support; it can be unpacked in a similar fashion. DVI driver family version 2.10 has a number of new features, and is now compiled with Microsoft C version 5.0. See 00REVHST.TXT for a change history, and 01README.TXT for details about use of the new Microsoft C compiler. \end{document}
