Hi there...
Is there anyone out there who can help me set up a full version of
TeX (or rather LaTeX) for my AMIGA computer. I have the following
archives...
PasTeX-extras.zoo
PasTeX.lzh
PasTeX1_1.lzh
commontex.lzh
mf2_0.lzh
mf2_7.lzh
tex3_mf2_amiga.zoo
tex3_amiga_small.zoo
texutils_amiga.zoo
I also have a set of *.mf and *.tfm files (taken from my local sun server).
Unfortunately I have been struggling to get anything working correctly. My
problems are mostly summerised as follows...
(1) VIRTEX works sometimes with &PLAIN, but not reliably. In addition I
need information on how to get a LATEX (LPLAIN I beleve) document
processed. What files do I need and how do I compile them.
(2) Does anyone know how to set up the enviromental variables for searching
more than one directory. I have tried seperating the directories
with an exclamation mark and a comma, but to no affect. I am using
workbench 1.3 SETENV with SHELL 4.01A.
(3) Does anyone use a previewer? I am using SHOWDVI, but no matter what I
set FLIBDIR,PKDIR,and DVICONFIG to the program never finds the fonts
required, and instead puts up a reqestor for volume TEX:, which is
not one of the disks to which I have assigned the env variables
(nor actually have defigned).
All help would be appreciated. I have some documentation on the files, but
they are all in German (not one of my languages). I have little spare
money (I am a poor research student on a tiny grant) so if I require
additional software break it to me gently. Note that I do have FTP access to
other sites. Sorry if this is a repetitive question.
Thanx in advance (email welcome)
