Some time ago, a message came by about a publicly available version of TeX for the Macintosh, called OzTeX. This was supposed to be available on 128.135.4.7 (somewhere in the uchicago.edu domain). I have tried to anonymously ftp it, but this site was unreachable from UCI. I then tried it from Notre Dame, connected to the host, but there was no anonymous ftp available. At this point, I think that I must have miscopied the address. Could someone please set me straight?? Thanks much - /mde/

You got the right idea, but you have the wrong number. try 128.135.4.27 BTW the files are HUGE (read: 6700K or so)...it took my poor mac about 12 hours to get all of them ******************************************************************************* * Greg Ford GEnie: G.FORD3 * * University of Southern California Internet: gford%nunki.usc.edu@usc.edu * *******************************************************************************

You had better have some time on your hands though, about 6 hours if you need to transfer these babies by 2400 baud modem - 1200 forget it. And you need a spare 5Meg on your hard drive. On the positive side the package works quite nice- at least the LaTex part which I tried- and you can't beat the price. The dvi previewer however produces text which is rather hard to read. keb .______________________________________________________________________________. |Ken Barner | The weather is here, | |Department of Electrical Engineering| wish you were beautiful. | |University of Delaware | -Jimmy Buffet | |Newark, DE 19716 |_________________________________________| |barner@huey.udel.edu |Opinions expressed, derived, inferred,...| |(alt) barner@vax1.udel.edu | != UD's, EE Dept's, my advisors, ... | |____________________________________|_________________________________________|

Is someone willing to copy OzTeX and utilities for me onto a 800K disk? I have tried downloading it, but I keep getting some error (and after waiting 4 hours , I get angry). So if I mailed someone a disk could you copy it for me? Reply to ins_apw@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU

By the strange way you spelled 'TeX', I'd assume that it is a TeX formatter for the Macintosh. Could such things be? What, exactly, can it do, and where can *I* download it from? << Brian >> -- | Brian S.

OzTeX is so-called freeware, written in Australia (hence Oz). It takes
*ten* 800K diskettes for the program and all the related style
and font (cmr, etc) files for displaying the dvi files (not one
as suggested). It can
be obtained via anonymous ftp from tank.chicago.edu either in binhex
or binary (stuffit) format. I downloaded it in binary mode to a unix
box with no problem and from there on to an Ether equipped MacII (of
course it took quite some time to download those 600-700K files!)

Yes, OzTeX is a Macintosh implementation of Knuth's TeX (version 2.0). It was written by Andrew Trevorrow at the University of Adelaide, South Australia. But it *does not* fit onto one 800K; try 10 instead. OzTeX comes complete with the LaTeX and AMS-TEX macros, and is available by anonymous ftp from a couple of sites in the U.S. I don't know where exactly, but perhaps one of the U.S. OzTeX distributors could post to this newsgroup?

HELP!!!! Well, it's not that desperate, actually... I just ftp'd OzTeX from the site mentioned in an earlier posting, and after about 2 hours of download time by modem, it's now taking up huge quantities of room on my HD. PROBLEM: I try to look at various DVI files, and I keep getting this error message "font:PK-files:<insert font name here>" not found. I get stacks of these messages. The stuffit archive that I got (OzTeX.sit) contained a folder called PK-files, but it was empty (0K). Is there someplace to find these files, or whatever it needs? I'm not a TeX person. I downloaded it in the hopes of being able to look at files done on UNIX systems (I mean, really, all these slashes and parentheses... ugh!), but I don't really feel like clicking "Continue" 10 times whenever I read through a document. Also, is there no PD TeX program that will print to a non-Postscript device? I'd really like to be able to print this stuff to my DeskWriter, but it's no go with OzTeX. I want a PostScript interpreter!! Thanks for any help you can provide! --Mike
