The latest version of Graham Toal's TeX port is now available from the Newcastle info server. Please grab the index file for info on file names. PLEASE address all enquiries to Graham - I know nothing whatsoever about possible changes to the software. To retrieve a file from the archive, send a message to info-server@newcastle.ac.uk with the following content: line-limit 1000 request: sources topic: archimedes filename request: end where filename is replaced by the name of the file that you want. A filename of 'index' will send you the latest index file.

He's fixed most of our bugs in the previewer, so it can now output draw files which print correctly with Risc Os drivers. (Except postscript, because Acorn don't convert outline fonts to postscript in their driver). Paul Allen (also of Edinburgh - centre of the computer world ;-) ) has updated the Latex style files considerably. I have also restructured the directories a little, so that from now on I can release net upgrades to individual sections without having to copy umpteen disks! (And I've started putting stuff under RCS to keep track of whats what) This release is (against my better judgment - I know it will cause problems) Sparkived so is down to (I think) 18 disks from the original 30. And it is structured such that you won't have to decompress the bits you're not using. Graham PS internet archive sites -- please update your copies. PPS There are already some pending changes -- after I built this, Acorn sent me mail saying 'version (blah) of stubs is now the official release'. I'll update newcastle as soon as I get a copy. Also, the TeX release now includes some *licensed* (I had to pay for them :-( ) Acorn modules, so there's a big pile of legalese licencing conditions I have to type in and add to the readme file. Very roughly, the rules are that if you get an acorn module with TeX, you're only allowed to use it with TeX. -- (* Posted from tharr.uucp - Public Access Unix - +44 (234) 720202 *)
