I will release the next version real soon now. Among the improvments:

- hypertex facility. You can follow links, and documents will be
opened either in windvi if they are dvi type, or whatever application 
is registered for any other type (nice, you can open outlook express
by clicking on an email address). There is no facility to type an url
in some edit field or thing like that (xdvi seems to do that). 

- printing : it does printing the hard way. That means : prints each
page as a huge bitmap. Not smart, but works in every situation. Some
enhancements are still possible to reduce the size of the data sent to 
the printer. There will be a second print command using dvips + gs. This
one is not yet done, but will be smarter and maybe even simpler to
implement.

Any comment welcome,
