Hello again. About a week ago, I asked if anyone knew where I could find some TeX previewers, in particular for the 5620 DMD and the PC7300. I got quite a few responses about where to find some files, as well as a lot more people asking me to disclose the whereabouts of this great stuff. No problem! (Please note I haven't checked the validity of all the locations and/or the code itself.) Harvard Townsend (harv@ksuvax1.cis.ksu.edu) reports a complete release of TeX, LaTeX, and a previewer for the AT&T 7300 Unix PC available from hotel.cis.ksu.edu (129.130.10.12) via anonymous FTP. Several files are there, all in "cpio -c" format. Look in pub/toolchest/ctex. I've checked this stuff; there's a lot there! Eric Herrin (eric@ms.uky.edu) also has a previewer for the 3B1 (almost a 7300 ;-) via anonymous FTP from e.ms.uky.edu in ftp/archive/text/TeXpreviewer as preview.tar.Z. Eric warns, however, that this one has no documentation. Eduardo Krell (ekrell@ulysses.att.com) has given me the location of a previewer for the 5620 DMD. Again, just anonyous FTP to cs.washington.edu and grab pub/dmd.tar.Z. Finally, Solveig Whittle (att!ttrde!sol) has a previewer for the 630 MTG (the successor of the 5620 DMD). Drop him a note for some info on this. Thanks to everyone who helped out on this! For those who will brave the Internet in search of a better TeX previewer, I salute you! =========================================================================== | Don Ferencz | "All the world's indeed a stage\ | | ferencz@cwsys3.cwru.EDU | And we are merely players\ | | Dept of Systems Engineering | Performers and portrayers" | | Case Western Reserve University | -- Rush | ===========================================================================
