# spx11(1)

a Simple Previewer for X11

## NAME

spx11 - a Simple Previewer for X11

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

*spx11* is a small viewer for DVI files generated  by TeX typesetting systems. It's code size is very small (approximately 350 lines of code in C).

It uses *DVIlib* as an intenal DVI bytecode interpreter and *VFlib* as an intenal font module.
