[comp.editors] *roff on Macintoshes, previewers

alonso@maxwell.mmwb.ucsf.edu (Darwin Alonso) (09/26/89)

Our research group would like information concerning *roff/eqn/tbl 
for Macintoshes. We are especially interested in any screen previewers 
that might be available.
Post or email to below address.

(If I can start a flame war re wysiwyg vs. batch processing,
so much the better. 8-)  Just leave me out of it, ok?   )

Thanks,
Darwin O.V. Alonso

I see your WYSIWYG flame and raise you one [ ;-) ]:  there are at least two
TeX implementations for the Mac, why not use *that*?

On a related topic, I haven't used nroff/troff in several years;  do current
implementations produce Postscript output?  Does anyone make an editor for
the Mac which can take Postscript as input?  It seems to me that either of
these projects would be excellent business opportunities.

(Numerous Mac programs produce Postscript as output;  I'm not referring to
these.)
