I'm back in Oz (a little thinner and a lot happier) and plan to do
some work on OzTeX 1.4 over the next few months.
The main tasks I hope to complete are:
1. Support for non-PostScript printers. There'll be a new config file
parameter that indicates what sort of printer is currently in use.
2. Support for previewing and printing of PICT/MacPaint/EPSF files
via TeX's \special command. For example:
\special{pict: foo.pict}
\special{pntg: foo.pntg}
\special{epsf: foo.epsf}
For compatibility with existing \special commands, the following
two lines show equivalent ways of including a "raw" PS file:
\special{ps: foo.ps}
\special{foo.ps}
If anybody has other ideas for improving OzTeX or bug reports
then now's the time to get in touch.
Send email to nks661@csc1.anu.edu.au.

I'd like to see automatic metafonting of missing fonts (like dvips
does). This would also imply a Metafont that doesn't require the
Programmer's Workbench (which most people don't have).
A LaserJet driver that downloads fonts instead of (as far as I can
tell) preparing whole-page bitmaps offline would be nice, too. (I
have a LJ IIP on a 9600 baud serial link--can you say S L O W?)
