The TEX toolkit for the PC which we mentioned above will be ready for distribution in the second part of 1989.

It will consist of:

• the DVI driver RUMdjet for the HP DeskJet (300, 150 and 100 dpi),

• the DVI driver RUMnec for the NEC P5/P6/P7 printer family (360 and 180 dpi),

• the DVI driver RUMview for a wide range of video cards including those with 1024×768 pixel resolution,

• the Program Adi2Pxl which converts Autodesk's ADI pixel file format into TEX fonts,

• a set of conversion programs which converts the grafic output of nearly every PC Program to ADI file format and

• a set of utility programs to manipulate ADI files and TEX fonts including a font editor.

The RUMdjet driver itself will be extended by several additional features for example the possibility to specify a list of pathnames for searching pixel or TFM files.

Although we consider the released preliminary version of RUMdjet to be rather stable, we are of course highly interested in bugs or malefunctions which will show up during everyday use. Please don't hesitate to write us if you run into an error.
