What is OS2TeX?
OS2TeX is a distribution of Donald E. Knuth's typesetting system TeX
for the IBM operating system OS/2 Warp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the features of OS2TeX?
- An installation program installs and configures the whole system
- User interface (shell) is supporting every step to create and work
on TeX documents
- Automatic creation of the needed fonts for every output device
controlled by an OS/2 printer driver.
- OS2TeX is based on the client-server architecture. Caused by this
the consistency of the fonts is guaranteed, even if several DVI
drivers are active at the same time.
- Tool for the driver independent integration of graphics into TeX
documents by the transformation of graphics to fonts. The graphics
can be scaled to several resolutions. Therefore it is possible to
print documents with graphcis on printers with different
resolutions, e.g. 300 dpi and 360 dpi.
- OS2TeX is built up multi-threaded, including modern techniques of
process syncronisation, so serveral steps can be done at the same
time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation requirements:
- OS/2 Warp V3 and higher.
- HPFS filesystem.
- 12 MB of free disk space.
