Yes, I have the same problems, and so do all the people who bought ST-TeX
from Tools. I called up these guys, and they told me they'd have a new
release fixing the bugs "within two weeks". I waited two months, and nothing
came in the mail. I then wrote them a letter, and didn't get an answer.
I came to the conclusion these people are not pros, and that my money
is wasted. As it is, ST-TeX is barely usable, if at all.

I heard somebody else in Germany is selling a version of TeX for the ST.
Anybody tried it ?

Didier.
