"Being processed" is impossible on either a PC or MAC, without 
rewriting TeX itself. (It should be possible on a high class
Unix workstation.)  But "Just processed" is certainly possible on
a 386 PC. I do it often. Use Microsoft Windows 386. Put your
favorite text editor in one window, TeX itself in another, and
my screen previewer dvivga in a third. Works fine. You can, if you
wish, print your previous try in a fourth window. All at once.
