I recently downloaded the ShowDvi program from ab20. Really nice previewer, much thanks to those who provided it! I do have a question dealing with the documentation. My German is a bit rusty/ (never was all that good), so the documentation does help some. I was wondering if there is an English version of the docs. A second question. Is LaTex and BibTeX out there somewhere? I am a bit of a tyro at TeX and am just learning now that I probably should have started with these macro packages. Thanks in advance for any help and thanks again to those who have supplied these programs to the freely redistributable domain. Bob

The main part of LaTeX is in PasTeX1.2a_part1.lzh 'TeX/macros', too. Only the style files are missing. But you can copy these from every TeX (ftp) server. BibTeX: Don't know. >Thanks in advance for any help and thanks again to those who have supplied >these programs to the freely redistributable domain.

If you downloaded the whole thing (posted in February, I think--the one that does TeX3.0) you should have gotten English docs for each of the pieces--some three or four .tex documents--with instructions on getting the system up and running. As a _total_ novice, I got it going and was reading the docs in the previewer within about an hour after getting the ftp'd stuff home.
