In response to somebody asking for a GNU Emacs TeX mode,
we'd like to announce the following:

As part of the Berkeley VorTeX distribution, we
have a GNU Emacs TeX mode and a BibTeX mode in the tape.
Here is a brief description of the two modes.
(1) The file "bibtex-mode.el" can be used to create .bib files.
(2) The file "tex-mode.el" is the TeX interface that bootstraps
    the following files.
(3) The file "tex-misc.el" contains miscellaneous TeX supporting functions 
    such as TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX execution, error positioning, 
    LaTeX/SliTeX environment opening and closing, dollar sign balancing,
    ..., etc.
(4) The file "tex-bib.el" is an interface to BibTeX for entry lookups
    and actual/symbolic substitutions.  The lookup facility works for
    both TeX and LaTeX documents.  The substitution facility can be used
    as a bibliography preprocessor for plain TeX documents.  When used
    for LaTeX documents, the substitution facility effectively cuts down
    the ``latex->bibtex->latex->latex'' process to just the last two.
(5) The file "tex-spell.el" is a spelling checking facility.

Other software in the package include a TeX DVI previewer, a PXL font editor,
and fonts, for the SUN workstation.
