I am interested to know what implementations of TeX (and LaTeX) exist for the MacIntosh. In particular, I have heard that there is a version of TeX which displays the formatted text in a window as you are typing it. But I don't know the name of this product or the vendor. Could someone please supply me with more information? Thanks in advance, Matthew Clegg mcl@tko.vtt.fi

>I am interested to know what implementations of TeX (and LaTeX) >exist for the MacIntosh. Textures. Used to be distributed by Addison Wesley, now Blue Sky Research, Portland, Oregon. Superb. [Yes, it displays the typeset output in a window on screen, exactly as it will appear on the page, almost instantly, with provision for demagnifying to see the full page, or magnifying to examine fine details of a complex formula.]

OzTeX is a *free* implementation of TeX and LaTeX for the Mac. Comes with everything you need, except for an integrated editer. I use a DA editor with no problems. This program is very robust. You can ftp it from (I think): midway@uchicago.edu. Wayne Pollock (The MAD Scientist) Internet: pollock@screamer.csee.usf.edu GEnie: W.POLLOCK

I tried to "ftp midway@uchicago.edu" and was told that it was an "unknown host". Is this the correct host name? Also, how big is OzTex? All info appreciated.

All info appreciated. midway.uchicago.edu (no @ sign--use a period ".") is the correct address. The number is 128.135.12.73, if the name isn't in your name server. I'm afraid I don't know how large it is offhand, except that it is really quite large. Hope this helps. Lawrence Miller

I beleive my backup of OzTeX is in a Stuffit archive segmented across 5 floppies. ----------- Dave Zeitler zeitler@si.com Smith's Industries zeitler@sol.cs.wmich.edu Aerospace & Defense Systems Inc.

All info appreciated I don't think so. I have never heard of a host name that consists a '@'. I would try midway.chicago.edu although I too got the same error message.

Also, how big is OzTex? All info appreciated The correct host name is midway.uchicago.edu OzTeX is big, especially when the fonts are considered. The program is in the pub directory where there is a README file that details what is present with OzTeX.
