The programm KDVI is based on the dvi-previewer xdvik, See below. KDVI was written by Markku Hihnala with the help of many collaborators. Later KDVI became a plug-in to KViewShell and Stefan Kebekus re-implemented parts of the program. The current version of KDVI shares a substantial amount of code with xdvi, not not very much with the first versions of KDVI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AUTHORS OF xdvik ================ This program, xdvik, was modified by kb@cs.umb.edu from Paul Vojta's xdvi distribution for common path searching, GNU-style configuration, etc. Send bug reports to tex-k@cs.umb.edu, not to Paul.
