(This may be an RPQ, rather than an LPP.) Yeesh, isn't that a fairly expensive answer to a fairly simple request? A damn fine TeX previewer called xdvi is available from any number of FTP sites (including export.lcs.mit.edu, in contrib) and works absolutely great on the RS/6000.

Marc asks whether the IBM TeX and Metafont PRPQ for the 6000 is expensive. The US price is $275, which includes TeX LATeX Metafont AMSTeX (mathematical extension) BibTeX a "bibliographic compiler" A number of pre-generated font files are included for use with TeX. Also included is font description data which can be used as input to Metafont in creating additional font files. I presume that a user could ftp, compile and build these same objects from publically available sources -- Bob Shair shair@chgvmic1.iinus1.ibm.com Scientific Computing Specialist SHAIR@UIUCVMD (bitnet) IBM Champaign
