Is this latest version a major upgrade or what ? Sorry if this has been asked before (I haven't seen any related discussion passing by ...) but could someone post a note about the current version of emtex ? Also, I seem to remember now someone mentionning "old .fli" versus "new .fli" ... I can see a big 'but' (no pun intended) comming along ... so, please, any comment would be 'beaucoup', 'tres', very very apprecie ...

I would like to tell my experience with ftp'ing emTeX.
I ftp'ed emTeX from terminator [see full address below] and was later
told by the author Mattes [see full name below] that the dvihplj had a
bug so I ftp'ed again from the terminator [disk3, see below]. But the
dvihplj was the same. So I ftp'ed the dvihplj from Germany node [see
full description below]. But it did not cooperate with other files I
ftp'ed from terminator. For one thing, the font library on .de was
different from terminator. I ended up w/ replacing the whole disk1 and
disk3 from terminator by the the ones from .de and of course all the
font files from .de and that works fine.
The conclusion is it is always safe to ftp emTeX from author's node. And
I would strongly suggest that people in charge of ftp sites for emTeX
keep track the changes in the auther's node.
PS: Raymond's info:
emTeX rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de
129.69.1.12 /soft/tex/emtex
emTeX terminator.cc.umich.edu msdos/text-mgmt/TeX/emtex/disk[1-6]
msdos.archive.umich.edu version 13.08.90
35.1.33.8 get emtex.README before beginning.
^^^^^^^^^
The IP code has changed. I would suggest Raymond to
update this.
emTeX is a full TeX implementation, with previewer, LaTeX, METAFONT,
lots of printer drivers, etc. For MS-DOS and OS/2.
