NAME

TEX - TeX and LaTeX typesetter and printer.  

SYNOPSIS

TEX [ options ] filename  

DESCRIPTION

TEX processes a file and sends it to a printer. The default is the Imagen; other devices can be used if available at the site.

The input to TEX does not have to be the raw manuscript. TEX can be given a .dvi file (which results from using the -d option), or .imp and .ver files (which result from using the -q option), and it will proceed from and end at the appropriate stage.
The file name does not have to end with tex.

OPTIONS :

-latex
uses LaTeX. See the LaTeX manual.
-x
makes two passes on the LaTeX input to resolve cross-references.
-eqn
uses texeqn to extract the equations.
-log
saves messages from the tex run in filename .log and saves messages from LaTeX run in filename .aux
-d
quits once the dvi file is produced without producing a hardcopy.
-q
(for quiescent) intermediate output is not spooled to the printing device.
-v
output device is the varian (default is the imagen).
