[comp.sys.atari.st] Tex on the ST

oddjob@oz.plymouth.edu (Andrew C. Stoffel) (03/01/91)

I'm interested in using TeX/LaTeX on my 1meg 1040STf.
I was just looking in /atari/tex on atari.archive.umic.edu.and there
is 10 megabytes of stuff in that directory......
Does anybody have any idea what files I would need from there to get
TeX up and running ?? I've got a list of other places for things like
style sheets but before I do that I need to get the right stuff to use
it with.

I was thinking of investigating this myself but I don't have the disk
space (floppy or harddrive) to d/l EVERYTHING there (I was going to
UNTIL I saw how much is there....)

In other words.... help.........

Andy

You'll need, at minimum:

The binaries for LaTeX/TeX :StTeXBin
The style files            :StTeXSty
The font macros            :StTeXTfm

If you want to screen-preview, you'll need screen font files (showdvi). 
If you want to print locally, you'll need printer font files (dvifont).

Allow 5Mb.

Hithere. I'm looking for a ST version of TeX and a dvi previewer.
Do such things exist in the public domain ? If so, where ?

Thank you,

Bill Grosso

Look at forwiss.uni-passau.de (/pub/atari/tex-3.1). There you will find
an implementation of TeX-3.1 for the ST and showdvi, a previewer for
DVI files on various ST screens.
