RISC World

The TeX distribution for RISC OS

A selection of files from the RISC OS TeX web site.

This version of armTeX requires filenames which are longer than 10 characters. The Zip files must be unpacked into a directory that allows this.

You can use Richard Atterer's raFS or Jason Tribbeck's LongFiles. You can get the latest versions of these programs at:

The latest versions, at the time of writing, are available on the CD-ROM as rafs116.zip and LF250.zip

Be sure to use a dearchiver which uses / as the extension separator. InfoZip does this, as does SparkPlug.

The current distribution is stored as a number of separate Zip files. Below is a list of all the Zip files with a description of their content. After each file, in parentheses, is the date on which it was last modified.

base.zip (13 Jul 98)
Documentation for armTeX. The basic directory structure and !TeX directory. Essential binaries. This archive holds just enough to run plain TeX.
dviview.zip (25 Jun 98); toolbox.zip (25 Jun 98)
Paul Field's DVI file previewer.
latex.zip (13 Jul 98)
LaTeX2e in a pre-installed version. Tools and Graphics standard packages pre-installed.
lowmemory.zip (13 Jul 98)
Binaries and format files which are essential for running TeX when memory is low. 4MB users should download this.
babel.zip (13 Jul 98)
The Babel multilingual system (almost) pre-installed. Hyphenation patterns are supplied for American and British English in base.zip.
ams.zip (18 Jul 98)
Pre-installed extensions to LaTeX from the American Mathematical Society. Really good tools, for serious mathematical typesetting.
bibtex.zip (13 Jul 98)
BibTeX is a bibliography generator for LaTeX.
extras.zip (13 Jul 98)
Not so often needed binaries and Texinfo, the GNU documentation system.
metafont.zip (13 Jul 98)
Binaries and prebuilt base file for Metafont. Sources for the Computer Modern typefaces. A version for 4MB users is in lowmemory.zip. You still need this archive to use Metafont, though.
