Has anyone tried OzTeX 1.3 with System 7.0? Are there any major or minor problems to report? T.

I have tried OzTeX 1.3 and found only one problem: it gives an error when attempting to print. Something about couldn't open LaserWriter or something like that. So, I printed to a PostScript file, then used the LaserWriter Font Utility to download it... No problems. No problems anywhere else, though I haven't turned on 32-bit addressing or VM. (Maybe the printed output to its text window is slower.) -- Wayne Folta (folta@cs.umd.edu 128.8.128.8)

Something about couldn't open LaserWriter or something > like that. OzTeX uses PAP to talk to the printer directly, and uses PDEF 10 in the LaserWriter file. Unfortunately, it is looking for the LW file in the System folder, not in the new printer folder. So just move or copy the LW file to the system folder level and all will be well. An alias won't work; you have to move or copy the LW file itself. However, you can try putting an alias of the LW file into the printer folder. Presumably the Chooser has been rev'ed so that it knows how to resolve aliases? I have code that uses PAP that has the same problem; I think we all worked from the same MacTutor article (:-).
