I interpreted the original query to be "Can I preview my TeX output on the screen instead of printing it?", which is certainly possible in both Mac and IBM implementations. If the original querant actually meant "Can I type something and have it be typeset automatically on the screen? I don't want to see the code involved", then you're right, but I don't know of any TeX implementation that can do this. -- Yog-Sothoth Neblod Zin, Chris Jarocha-Ernst UUCP: {ames, cbosgd, harvard, moss, seismo}!rutgers!elbereth.rutgers.edu!cje ARPA: JAROCHAERNST@CANCER.RUTGERS.EDU
