Hi,
I have some questions about xtex.
0. Is necessary the tex82 programm (30 Mb source), for work
with xtex.
1. I have the TeXbook from Donald Knuth and the xtex programm
but not tex or tex82. Anyway, I want to see and edit .tex
files. How I can do?.
2. I write the story.tex from TeXbook from start, but if I
run xtex story.tex or xtex and after try to open the file.
xtex answer me:
cannot find postamble
Are you sure this is a DVI file?
[fopen] Unable to open ``story.tex''
If I try to open essential.dvi files another kinds of warning
with a final
[fopen] Unable to open ``essential.dvi''
If someone work on xtex, please answer me. Thanks!.
G. Orlando.
PS. I know where I take TeX.bigelow@hpfcso.FC.HP.COM (Jim Bigelow) (02/21/91)
xtex is used to view .dvi files that are produced by running TeX. Therefore, you need to run tex story.tex first, then xtex ./story.dvi to view the resulting dvi file. Best regards and good luck. Jim Bigelow Hewlett Packard Ft. Collins, CO. USA
