Limitations include no indices, table of contents, margins or graphics.

When using mail servers, bear several points in mind. [a] Follow the instructions carefully. Each mail server accepts a different dialect of commands. Make sure you aren't following server X's instructions when sending requests to server Y. Mail servers are computer programs and ill-formed requests tend to give mail server administrators migraine headaches. (I know, I'm one such administrator.) [b] Use mail servers only if you cannot obtain the files by ftp or other means. [c] Requesting large amounts of material via mail servers is frowned upon by system administrators. Overuse of mail servers may result in the shutdown of said server.

A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a little to be desired, but with the growing availability of good DA editors on the Mac, that's not as big of an issue as it used to be. If you decide to buy it, get it from the TeX Users Group so that they get the vendor royalty. TeX Users Group P.O. Box 9506 Providence, RI 02940-9506 Phone: 401-751-7760 The publisher is Blue Sky Research. Address *might* be 534 SW Third Avenue, Portland, OR 97204. (That's the address of Kellerman & Smith, the previous publisher.) o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public domain even). It comes with source, and a web-to-modula2 program. The nice (or not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats). Another nice feature is that OzTeX creates dvi files directly. Available via anonymous ftp from: midway.uchicago.edu in pub/sources/OzTeX. watmsg.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.9) in pub/oztex. ymir.claremont.edu (goes without saying) x MacTeX: FTL is officially defunct, and MacTeX is no longer available. o CTeX: The web2c version ported to the Mac (under MPW). Available from ymir and midway.. =============================================================================== [3] How to obtain TeX for the IBM PC. The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon Radel. His catalog which is currently 40 pages long contains several versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG documents, etc. A catalog is available by sending an envelope which can contain 10 sheets of 8.5x11 paper with adequate return postage or $2.00 (US). Contact: Jon Radel Postal Address: P.O. Box 2276 Reston, VA 22090 Notes: Software is distributed on 5.25" 360K floppy disks. For floppies sent with a return mailer, there is a charge of $1.50/floppy U.S. orders, $2/floppy elsewhere. For orders where floppies are supplied by Jon Radel, there is a charge of $5/floppy for U.S., Mexican and Canadian orders, $6/floppy elsewhere. Other sources are the ftp sites listed in part [1]. The following information was released on 1 Feb 1989: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DosMF has passed the TRAP test and is now part of the DosTeX distribution. DosMF is distributed with the complete set of Computer Modern Metafont source files as well as sources for the LaTeX fonts. As with the current version of DosTeX, the size of the mem[] array is user-controllable and preloaded versions may be created from inimf dumps. Other array sizes and constants are as specified in METAFONT: The Program (except max_in_open, which has been raised from 6 to 10). Performance is approximately 30 seconds per character when generating the cmr10 font at 200 dpi on a 8 Mhz 1-ws AT clone. MSDOS versions of GFtoDVI and GFtoPK are included as well. Online graphics support is provided within DosMF for the Hercules card. Alternatively, the DosTeX Hercules previewer may be used with the output of GFtoDVI. The default local mode is for the Epson printer operating at 240h x 216v dpi. No provision has been made to avoid name truncation under MSDOS (i.e., mfput.2602gf becomes mfput.260). DosMF is probably no match for commercially available implementations, but it should be just fine for people who do not use Metafont that often or wish to learn how to design fonts with the language. The DosTeX distribution occupies 7 360k floppy disks. If you receive it from the vendor, a printed version of the installation/operation instructions is also included, along with support by mail or telephone as needed. To receive DosTeX, send a check or money order payable to Electronetics, Inc. for US$75 (US$85 outside USA) with your name and address to: Electronetics, Incorporated c/o Gary Beihl 119 Jackrabbit Run Round Rock, TX 78664 -- Gary Beihl (beihl@mcc.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen McGrath (smg@eedsp.gatech.edu) has placed a rather complete collection of TeX gizmos for MS-DOS on eedsp.gatech.edu (128.61.2.1) in the TeX directory. Get the file "readme.tex" before starting. It includes SBTeX from Wayne Sullivan, Nelson Beebe's dvi drivers, an EGA/VGA/8514 screen previewer, a BibTeX 0.99 implementation from J. Demel and Dimitri Vulis, macro and style packages, and a humongous number of cm and am fonts. You will need at least 4MB for the TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX/AmsTeX/BibTeX/etc stuff, and up to 30 MB to install and unpack all of the drivers and fonts. 13MB is a realistic estimate for TeX, drivers, and CM fonts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== [4] How to obtain TeX for UNIX boxes. TeX for Unix is available from the University of Washington. It is up-to-date (TeX 3.0, MF 2.0), contains detailed installation instructions and support is available if you have problems. Money from the distribution tapes goes towards funding the support hotline and future Unix TeX development.

Send email to archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu archive-server%sun.soe.clarkson.edu@omnigate.bitnet dumb1!dumb2!dumb3!smart!sun.soe.clarkson.edu!archive-server containing the single word "help".

Opinions are those of the original authors (even though I've lost many of the attributions), but if you want to blame me for them, go ahead. Thanks also to all the people who've sent me corrections, to the authors of all the software, and to the many nameless administrators which keep FTP sites up and running. Special thanks to Edward Vielmetti for providing the raw material for section [1b], as well as for moderating comp.archives, which was another source of information. Extra special thanks to Don Hosek, for gosh oh-so-many things. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
