I'm looking at running latex on my ST.(1Meg RAM) Can anyone who has been down this route advise me on the best previewer available, and where it can be picked up. I'd also be interested to hear of any PD drawing software which will produce encapsulated postscript - again to run on ST. Thanks, David.

Anyhow the portable bitmap stuff is very good even if it wasn't what was asked for!
