(I believe both of these >were in the file "showdvi.zoo")...... First: There is no CommonTeX, but TeX 3.0 (or soon TeX 3.1). There are the TeX programs initex/virtex, a previewer (ShowDVI) and a printer driver (DVIprint). That's the programs for a) and c). You can get the newest version of PasTeX from my home ftp-server: ftp.uni-passau.de (132.231.1.10) /pub/amiga/tex But we have a slow line, so look also at: ab20.larc.nasa.gov /incoming/amiga/TEX * WAIT * If you want these programs wait some days for PasTeX version 1.2. I will finish the work this week, so look at the ftp servers next week. (I will post it, when the version is ready) Georg. -- hessmann@unipas.fmi.uni-passau.de hessmann@unipas.uucp
