Yep, I gotta agree, Amiga TeX is the only text formater - word processor 
I'll ever need on the amiga. Even though I dont have the 1 meg required to run
LaTeX I've been using the previewer alot to take a look at the .div
files I compile on the main frame before printing them out.  Keep up the good 
work Tom.

Writing my thesis in a WYSIWYG  enviornment
was a big mistake. After half way through I was spending more time
MacCutting and MacPasting (Tm... probably 8^) ) than I was adding to the
document.

Again, I gotta agree.  I have never seen anyone so exicted as they cut down the
size or speed up a program as Tom is when he cuts off his daily bytes
and gains those daily secs.

I took the liberty too.
