Hi, I've been using PasTeX from ab20, and it's great. But I'm just learning TeX and, while I can get plain TeX to work fine, I don't know how to use LaTeX. I wouldn't bother with it, but I have some documents that are in LaTeX format that I would like to use. (In addition, Maple can produce LaTeX output). Could anyone breifly explain the steps I need to go through to produce a dvi file from the LaTeX source? I thought I understood that LaTeX was really just a macro and I have made and used lplain.fmt. But all I got were a bunch of error messages. I must be missing some key ingredient to all this. Thanks, Richard gerber@rigel.astro.uiuc.edu
