The original code doesn't +null-terminate a string at several points, apparently relying on the +assumption that all memory will be zeroed. This is not the case on +several systems, most notably Linux. These patches will also clean up the +Makefile and add a make clean target. + +To apply these patches, use: + + patch < dvi2tty.patch + +If you don't have patch on your system, you can obtain it from +prep.ai.mit.edu (or any mirror) in /pub/gnu; I highly recommend you +install it. Alternately, you can just make the below changes by hand +(there aren't very many). + +Feel free to send me questions, other problems, corrections, and the like, +but please be aware that I am not the official maintainer of this package, +and although I use it I do not know a lot about the internals. I'll try +to help, but don't expect too much. + + Russ Allbery + rra@cs.stanford.edu + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
