Re: Alternative DVI Viewers

Found part of the reason for slow pdf compilation: using -c option for texify. The documentation states this "removes all auxiliary files", but apparently old versions of the files can be used to speed up the next compilation.

Re: Alternative DVI Viewers

Evince looks like it might be ok, unfortunately it seems working dvi support never made it into the windows version since it crashes when trying to open one. I'm trying to install and configure some supporting libraries, but no luck yet.

I like the TeXworks viewer that comes with MiKTeX, but ...
