I'm back in Oz (a little thinner and a lot happier) and plan to do
some work on OzTeX 1.4 over the next few months.
The main tasks I hope to complete are:

1. Support for non-PostScript printers.  There'll be a new config file
   parameter that indicates what sort of printer is currently in use.
2. Support for previewing and printing of PICT/MacPaint/EPSF files
   via TeX's \special command.  For example:
      \special{pict: foo.pict}
      \special{pntg: foo.pntg}
      \special{epsf: foo.epsf}
   For compatibility with existing \special commands, the following
   two lines show equivalent ways of including a "raw" PS file:
      \special{ps: foo.ps}
      \special{foo.ps}

If anybody has other ideas for improving OzTeX or bug reports
then now's the time to get in touch.
Send email to nks661@csc1.anu.edu.au.
