A new version of my CommonTeX port to the St, StTeX (previously made available on dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu and on the terminator archive) is now available for anonymous FTP from dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu [129.22.16.2]. Apart from a few cleanups, slight improvement in performance, the biggest new feature in this distribution is the new utility undump for TOS. using undump, you can build TeX and LaTeX executables from virtex, that have the .fmt preloaded. What this means is that startup is about a bizillion times faster than the typical `virtex &lplain foo' route. Undump can be used to undump other applications too that take a long time to initialize (edguer please can we have an undumped GnuEmacs now!). The following files are availble in the directory ~ftp/pub/atari/StTeX StTeXbin.zoo binaries only (configured for a 1M ST) StTeXmac.zoo macros and .fmt files StTeXsrc.zoo complete sources for TeX and utils, including undump StTeXtfm.zoo font metric files undump.zoo undump source and binary only also in the directory are (thanks Robert for the wonderful program!) showdvi.zoo previewer by Robert Stabl (unido!unipas!stabl) recently posted in comp.binaries.atari.st showdvifonts.zoo fairly complete set of font libraries for showdvi please remeber to download in binary mode. to extract files use zoo x //. foo.zoo If you dont have zoo, it is also available in ~ftp/pub/atari/zoo.ttp and ~ftp/pub/atari/zoo.zoo. enjoy, -- bang: {any internet host}!dsrgsun.ces.CWRU.edu!bammi jwahar r. bammi domain: bammi@dsrgsun.ces.CWRU.edu GEnie: J.Bammi
