Newcomer <NEWCOMER@TL-20B.ARPA> Subject: TEX To: info-ibmpc@USC-ISIB.ARPA After a disastrous weekend of trying to get even the simplest documents through SCRIBBLE (Mark of the Unicorn) on the IBM-PC, I would like to abandon SCRIBBLE entirely. Besides a severe lack of functionality, it is full of bugs (at least the version distributed from CMU), some of which crash the PC while printing. No fun. Does anyone know of a port of TEX to the IBM-PC? We are running a PC-XT with 640K. The current printer is a Radio Shack DMP400 which has 7 fonts plus graphics. ------- -------
