bed_gdg@SHSU.BITNET ("George D. Greenwade") (03/26/91)

Sorry if this already got to you, but I have reason to believe that it didn't
get out of the gate from here (the joys of being a list owner).  On Fri, 22
Mar 91 16:11 EST, Josephine Colmenares <COLMENARES@FORDMURH.BITNET> posted
the following information to INFO-TeX.   Thanks to her for the information
and apologies for bothering you with it yet again if this was successfully
distributed previously.     --GDG

Re: public domain OzTeX:
        - written by Andrew Trevorrow
        - public domain version of TeX for the Macintosh
        - DVI Previewer and PostScript driver are included
        - runs on any Macintosh Plus, SE, II or newer model
          but not on 128K or 512K
        - direct questions about OzTeX to oztex@midway.uchicago.edu
        - need StuffIt or UnStuffIt to extract the .sit files
        - latest release OzTeX 1.3 includes TeX 3.0 schemes
        * get the file pub/OzTeX/READE *first*
        * the binary, fonts and all the stuff in general that you need
          take up about 10 Megs; many font archives, each at about 400K.
        * stock OzTeX files DO NOT print on anything but a laserwriter printer
 
Available in the DECUS TeX Collection or you can anonymous ftp from:
