[comp.text.tex] new version of OzTeX?

johnz@cluster.cs.su.oz (John Zic) (08/21/90)

Rumor has it that Andrew Treverrow is working on a new release on
OzTeX, specfically, an implementation of TeX 3.0 for the Mac which
will once and for all banish problems such as the hash size limit,
etc.  Anyone got any further info about it and its likely release
date?

Andrew has, in fact, gotten TeX 3.0 running and will be shipping
OzTeX 1.3 to Peter Abbott at Aston University (UK) in September.
Peter will then forward it on to the distributors in the list
Andrew gave him before leaving for India.
