================
Here is a list of TeX-related programs for the Mac that might be of interest
to OzTeX users. All the programs are freeware or shareware and are widely
available at various ftp sites that specialize in Mac or TeX-related software.
Good sites to try are ftp.uchicago.edu or any of the CTAN sites:
ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/
CTAN stands for Comprehensive TeX Archive Network; all the CTAN sites mirror
one another to maintain an up-to-date collection of files in a consistent
directory structure. After logging in to a CTAN site you can locate a file
called "xxx" by typing "quote site index xxx". Good mirror sites are:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/tex/ctan/
ftp://ctan.unsw.edu.au/tex-archive/
deTeXtor
--------
A handy utility by Nick Buchdahl for deleting .dvi, .log etc files.
fontinst
--------
A TeX macro package by Alan Jeffrey for reading Adobe Font Metric (AFM) files
and converting them into PL or VPL files (which can then be turned into TFM
files by PLtoTF or VPtoVF in OzMF). You'll need to create a Big-Plain format
to use fontinst; the OzTeX User Guide describes how to do this.
Ghostscript
-----------
A PostScript interpreter originally created by L. Peter Deutsch.
Very handy for previewing PostScript files and debugging PostScript code.
Macintosh implementations include ViewPS by Tom Kiffe, and Aladdin's
Mac GS Viewer 1.0 which is available at ftp.cs.wisc.edu in
/pub/ghost/aladdin/mac.
Other TeX systems
-----------------
If OzTeX doesn't meet your needs then feel free to try the other TeX systems
available for the Macintosh: Textures by Blue Sky Research (commercial),
CMacTeX by Tom Kiffe and DirectTeX Pro by Wilfried Ricken (both shareware).
