Or for those of us without X11, just grab the sources and replace the
screen driver with vgalib (from tsx-11:somewhere) and try rebuilding.
I did this with dvivga, and it works OK, if a little more slowly than
the DOS version. (Contact me if you want a copy, but I still have to
take out a few more dos-isms before releasing the next version).
^^^^Just grab Xega and then you can run xdvi.
I guess we still need DOS emulation for all those games out there
though. Anyone have a port of Elite? or Lotus 1-2-3 ?
