NAME
       xdvizilla - Helper application for running xdvi

SYNOPSIS
       xdvizilla [-no-rm] file

DESCRIPTION
       Presently  (October  2002),  Mozilla  has  some	bugs with
       helper  applications:  it  passes  gzipped   (.gz)   files
       directly	 to the helper application without uncompressing,
       and it passes compressed (.Z) files as empty files.

       To work around these problems, xdvizilla	 was  written  to
       look  at files and decompress them correctly (depending on
       their file types).

       In addition, some sites produced tarred dvi files (includ-
       ing  the	 dvi  file as well as some included figures), and
       xdvizilla correctly handles those files as well.

OPTIONS
       Only one option is supported:

       -no-rm Normally xdvizilla will remove file before  finish-
	      ing.  This option inhibits this behavior.

INSTALLATION
       In  addition to installing xdvizilla in a directory on the
       default search path, it is necessary to set  it	up  as	a
       helper application within the browser.

       For  Netscape  4.x, add the following lines to the mailcap
       file:

	    application/x-dvi;	    xdvi -safer %s
	    application/x-dvi-tar;  xdvizilla -no-rm %s

       For Netscape 6.x, Netscape 7.x, or Mozilla  1.x,	 add  the
       following lines to the mailcap file:

	    application/x-dvi;	    xdvizilla %s
	    application/x-dvi-tar;  xdvizilla %s

       In  addition, it would be useful to check that the follow-
       ing line is included in the mime.types file:

	    type=application/x-dvi  exts="dvi"	    desc="TeX dvi file"
