  Description     : Program to view HINT files

 The HINT file format is an alternative to the DVI or PDF format
 that was designed specifically for on screen reading of documents.
 Especially on mobile devices, reading DVI or PDF documents can be
 cumbersome.
 .
 Mobile devices are available in a large variety of sizes but are
 typically not large enough to display documents formated for
 letter-size paper. To compensate for the limitations of a small
 screen, users are used to alternate between landscape (few long
 lines) and portrait (more short lines) mode. The HINT format
 supports variable and varying screen sizes leveraging the ability
 of TEX to format a document for (almost) arbitrary values of
 \hsize and \vsize.

Why and how to maintain the package:
 - Currently the hitex program is included in Debian and one
   can create hint files. Hence it is highly useful to have
   a program, to display these kind of files.
 - I'm a member of the Debian TeX Task force and I'll
   maintain in the team. I'm a DM, once I got the upload permits
   I can care of the package myself.
