[comp.sys.atari.st] Re-v02i096: texshell -- GEM shell for TeX

decouty@irisa.UUCP (Bertrand Decouty) (10/12/88)

A shell for TeX has appeared in comp.bin.atari.st.

It is stated that:
>On a 1 meg machine, there is not enough memory
>to run a shell and TeX together, ....
                        ^^^^^^^^
I would like to say that it is not true for all shell's (and all TeX ?): 
ST_TeX from Tools Gmbh, runs  really fine under SHELL.ACC. 
You can even define in a PROFILE file the search paths  and use command file.
So, I can type "latex foo" , where latex is defined,  in LATEX.BAT, by:
c:\st_tex\tex.app &c:/st_tex/lplain $1

Nice, is not it?
Unfortunately, SHELL.ACC does not support GEM program, so you have to exit
before running DVI.PRG.
(This is NOT a flame for texshell)

oops! i forgot to mention that i was talking about FREE TeX, not some
commercial version. this TeX is available from clio.math.lsa.umich.edu
(don't you love how i advertise other people's file servers without
asking first :-) via anonymous ftp, or soon from lakesys (i just
mailed the uuencode fragments earlier).
