  • When I try to view lab1 in its processed (.dvi) format, it said it cant open the file because it has type application/x-zerosize. Last night I had the same problem, but after 5 or so tries it changed its mind and worked. Today, not the case. I'm using Leopard 10.5. Devontownsend 12:05, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
    • Make sure that latex lab1.tex actually completed - usually a zerosize means the .dvi file wasn't even created. DukeEgr93 14:34, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
