# tar file

dviout can read a DVI file in a packing of a tar file whose extension is usually .tar. dviout can read graphic files to be included or target files of HyperTeX in the packing.
The directory structure in the packing is ignored.
If the extension of the packing is .dvitar and for example, if the filename is foo.dvitar, then dviout searches the file foo.dvi in the packing to display it. Otherwise, the files with the extension .dvi are regarded as DVI files.
