A utility to convert TeX DVI files directly to bitmaps, without
going through the complicated (and slow!) route of conversion
via PostScript and PNM. The prime motivation for this is to
prepare mathematical equations for inclusion in HTML files but
there are many other uses beyond that. It can generate XBM and
GIF bitmaps, plus PNG, if you have the libpng library installed.
It uses the same kpathsea font-searching library as other TeX
programs, again as long as you have the appropriate library
installed. The program is written in C++, and incidentally
provides a good object interface for DVI and PK files.
