A complete set of sources that compile and work are indeed available on
vgr.brl.mil

In addition, I have a binary distribution available for anon FTP on
godzilla.cgl.rmit.oz.au (131.170.14.2). It includes a later version of
the previewer that will find its way onto vgr when I get a chance to finish
of some extra stuff. As usual, the VGR distribution will be source.

Most of you will be interested to know that thanks to work by
Mark Segal of SGI (ASD), the next release (new year) will be able
to display postscript specials together with the TeX stuff. For the
curious, it is done by using Ghostscript routines to display the postscript

Anyhow, the godzilla binary distribution is the latest public release
together with lots of 100dpi fonts..
