Hello;
I hope I don't get flammed for this request but this is the only
newsgroup that I have seen the point editor discussed in. What I want
to know is what I need to print the .tex files in pt20man.zip. I have
an 286 machine with plenty of disk space available on a temporary basis
(I would print it out once and delete it). I would be printing it on
an HP Laserjet II printer, which has a HP Pro Collection Cartridge.
Thanks in advance
Joe White

TeX and it's fonts will take up 5 Meg, the dvi2hp about the same (I'm NOT kidding! sorry). If you have access to a Sun or Vax that has TeX, that's far and away the easiest and fastest way of getting your printout. Alain Picard Does your printer print Postscript files? If so, I could mail you the ptuser.ps and ptman.ps files.

That you can print with a POSTSCRIPT emulator. G.Ma'rk
