Hi TeX Landers, I am in urgent need to printout some big matrices and need landscape printing. But I couldn't find any laser printer driver nor any fonts for it. Can somebody give me a pointer? I read from UKTeX Digest (V90#24) that there might be a driver in "em-tex" package could do landscape printer, but don't know what "em-tex" really is, nor where I can ftp it. Any hint will be highly appreciated. Please reply to this account, since I do not read the net often. If the messages are of general interest, I'll post a summary. Mike N.

EmTeX is a TeX package for MsDos systems written by Ebenhard Mattes. It's a very good implementation running Tex, LateX, MetaFont, previewer, and several printer drivers. An extra feature is TeXCad, it makes LaTeX drawings. The drivers make it possible - to have LaTeX lines at all angles. - Rotate and mirror the pages in different modes, using the standard fonts. - Include bitmapped drawings in special format (Microsoft??) The disadvantage used to be that it had german manuals. But it seems that this is fixed. If you want the package through FTP, try terminator.cc.umich.edu. But I don't know where the English manuals can be found. (Currently it's also on eba.eb.ele.tue.nl(131.155.2.25) for Europe) Regards, Willem Jan Withagen Eindhoven University of Technology DomainName: wjw@eb.ele.tue.nl Digital Systems Group, Room EH 10.10 BITNET: ELEBWJ@HEITUE5.BITNET P.O. 513 Tel: +31-40-473401 5600 MB Eindhoven The Netherlands

The drivers make it possible
- to have LaTeX lines at all angles.
- Rotate and mirror the pages in different modes, using the standard
fonts.
- Include bitmapped drawings in special format (Microsoft??)
HP PCL files
and do landscape printing
The disadvantage used to be that it had german manuals. But it seems that
this is fixed.
the older english manuals are on terminator as engdoc.zip. but in the new
release they are part of the package and emerge in emtex\doc\english
when you unpack it all.
emTeX is now TeX 3.0, and the drivers support virtual fonts. its
wonderful.
