Hello all,

I am trying to implement a rule that will display dvi files in plumber.  There are currently two rules that cover dvi files.  Neither will allow for rendered displaying via a mouse 3 click in acme.  This does work for ps and pdf files, so I would like to change it to allow for dvi's as well.  My thought is to pass this through a pipe from dvips to page.  I have built and installed kertex thanks to Thierry Laronde.  In a terminal all I have to call is kertex/dvips <filename.dvi> | page.  Unfortunately the logic escapes me on how to do this properly with the plumber. 

I have the following blocks that pertain to the implementation of pdf / ps viewing.

type is text

data matches '[a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+'

data matches '([a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+)\.(ps|PS|eps|EPS|pdf|PDF|dvi|DVI|doc|DOC|epub|EPUB|cb[tz]|CB[TZ])'

arg isfile $0

plumb to postscript

plumb start page -w $file

type is text

data matches '[a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+'

data matches '([a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+)\.(ps|PS|eps|EPS|pdf|PDF|dvi|DVI|doc|DOC|epub|EPUB|cb[tz]|CB[TZ])'

arg isfile $0

plumb to postscript

plumb start page -w $file

dst is image

plumb to image

plumb client page -wi

dst is postscript

arg isfile $data

plumb start page -w $data

These were the settings set by the system.  I have hacked around with them, but can't seem to get a solution and I am sadly not versed  enough with plumb(6).   Does anyone have a hint or idea on how I might accomplish my goal?  Reading man plumb pages as I await a reply.

Thanks in advance,

Chris Gorman
