Get the AUX: device from comp.amiga.sources (or wait until you get 1.3), and 
also get the modified MicroEmacs that has support for the AUX device.  Of
course you'll be able to use only programs that use stdin/stdout and no
windows.

No PD AmigaTeX.  You will just have to buy it.  I understand Rokicki's
AmigaTeX comes with a very nice "previewer". Code for that is definitely
not coming from the PD TeX tape.
