The following are patches against the standard dvi2tty distribution (at
|
||
|
least as of March of 1996, but it doesn't look like it's going to be
|
||
|
changing any time in the near future). The original code doesn't
|
||
|
null-terminate a string at several points, apparently relying on the
|
||
|
assumption that all memory will be zeroed. This is not the case on
|
||
|
several systems, most notably Linux. These patches will also clean up the
|
||
|
Makefile and add a make clean target.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To apply these patches, use:
|
||
|
|
||
|
patch < dvi2tty.patch
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you don't have patch on your system, you can obtain it from
|
||
|
prep.ai.mit.edu (or any mirror) in /pub/gnu; I highly recommend you
|
||
|
install it. Alternately, you can just make the below changes by hand
|
||
|
(there aren't very many).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Feel free to send me questions, other problems, corrections, and the like,
|
||
|
but please be aware that I am not the official maintainer of this package,
|
||
|
and although I use it I do not know a lot about the internals. I'll try
|
||
|
to help, but don't expect too much.
