A few months ago I posted a preliminary version of my
TeX Preview program. There were quite a few responses
then, so I will now post a much more recent version
to net.sources.mac. The program is still a TeX-80
previewer, but the final TeX-82 preview program will
have exactly the same User Interface as the now
(to be) posted application, so I will post it anyway
(as a demonstration).
Besides TeX Preview itself are posted a MacWrite document
containing a little more info, and a DVI-file (courtesy
Alon Rozendaal) with some pages text and some pages with
formula's. There will be five postings in total:
1. MacWrite doc.
2. TeX Preview part 1
3. TeX Preview part 2
4. DVI file part 1
5. DVI file part 2
If you are a TeX user, or you know people using TeX, please
download the files from net.micro.mac and let me know what
you/they think of it.
TeX Preview has an icon of its own. If it does not show up
then eject the disk and reboot. Then the icon should appear.
If not, try setting the bundle bit with FEdit or rebooting
with option and command both pressed.
TeX-82?
At SARA we are still using TeX-80 (sigh!). Conversion of
TeX Preview to TeX-82 should not be difficult nor a lot of work.
My problem is that I have no possibility to create TeX-82
DVI-files myself. So, if you would like me to convert
TeX Preview to TeX-82 then please download a small TeX-82
DVI-file from your system (may I suggest a font like Times
Roman 10 points and some formula's?), convert it with
BinHex4 and mail it to me. I would be much obliged if you
could also send me by 'normal' mail a photocopy of the
printed DVI-file.
Note: our UNIX system will be closed down 1-Sep-85, so please
respond before that date. Afterwards we will have access to
EARN, and so still have access to USENET, but I don't know yet
how you can reach me from USENET.
Thanks very much in advance!
