I've placed Texx2-2.10.tar.Z in the contrib area of expo.lcs.mit.edu. This is not a complete installation; it only contains the files needed to build texx2, and does not contain the complete library of TeX font manipulation routines. Thus, this is only useful to you if you've installed texx2 before. This is a test release of what I am going to submit for the X11R4 tape. Changes: See ChangeLog for more details, but.. + X11R4 compatible (hopefully, please send patches if it isn't) + Corrected several bugs & memory leaks. Most notable fix is in DviPage, where miscomputation of a constant caused many more Xlib calls than needed. Greatly reduced server communication gives about 2x speedup (estimated) in display. + Extensive use of application defaults file. Program *requires* the Texx2.ad file be installed now, but you can configure it very easily. Entire interface is through action procedures, which can be bound to keys in application defaults file. + Compile time option to use Table widget. + when printing marked pages, printing commands & output appear in dialog box. Dialog box interaction is much nicer. + A ``marked page'' menu appears at the bottom of the top level box, showing you what pages have been marked for printing. You can also mark pages using this menus. + mftobdf allows you to use file names, e.g., % mftobdf -dpi 85 cmr10.93pk will generate cmr10 magnified 1095 without you specifying that. The X11R4 release will have a complete set of CM fonts at 85dpi; if you need these BDF files, they can be posted somewhere. My platform is now a DECstation-3100, so I may have introduced some problems for Sun users. Please let me know about bugs. Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Colorado at Boulder (grunwald@foobar.colorado.edu)
