[comp.sys.atari.st] UNDUMP and new version of StTeX available

bammi@dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu (Jwahar R. Bammi) (09/22/89)

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,
