But when I want to edit the .dvi file (either in xdvi or in ghostview) I always get error messages! I installed both programs via the ports collection (so there should not be any wrong settings) and if a .tex file is "compiled" to a .dvi file, there should not be any error either. One more general question about printing under FreeBSD: whenever I print something first of all I get a page printed with information about my computer- and user name. Is there any possiblity to turn this (mal-) function off? Stefan.
