The commercial version of AmigaTeX is from a company called Radical Eye Software. Several PD versions of TeX for Amiga also apparently exist. I ftp'ed my copy of (PD) PasTeX from the repository on ab20.larc.nasa.gov (128.155.23.64). Note: for a 24-pin printer like Epson LQ, you will probably need additional hi-res bitmapped fonts beyond the ones supplied with PasTeX. I ftp'ed the "gf" fonts from labrea.stanford.edu, and used the "gftopk" program supplied with PasTeX to convert the "gf" fonts to the "pk" format that PasTeX needs. PasTeX's printouts looked *very* nice on my NEC P6200 printer; almost laser printer quality. The only bug I have found is that the "DVIprint" printer program supplied with the latest release of PasTeX insists on inserting blank pages into the output, no matter what I do. I went back to using a DVIPrint program from an older release of PasTeX, which doesn't suffer from that bug. -- Steven Litvintchouk MITRE Corporation Burlington Road Bedford, MA 01730 (617)271-7753 ARPA: sdl@mbunix.mitre.org UUCP: ...{att,decvax,genrad,necntc,ll-xn,philabs,utzoo}!linus!sdl "Where does he get those wonderful toys?"
