Hari) Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc Subject: LaTeX-- problem Keywords: LaTeX Message-ID: <14071@sdcc6.ucsd.edu> Date: 11 Nov 90 02:43:17 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: University of California, San Diego Lines: 21 I copied the TeX software on ymir.claremont.edu for the IBM PC. After unarcing the files and following the instructions, I landed into trouble executing LaTeX. C:\TEX\> latex results in lot of control characters dumped onto the screen. Tried writing the o/p onto a file but no result. There is no syntax error since the file produces o/p when I run it on a SUN. Any helpful suggestions? Thanks Hari kvshari@ucsd.edu or hari@ames.ucsd.edu
