- Hi. Many of these questions are probably FAQs, but if someone could email
- me some quick replies, it would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Some people in my workplace have been asking for information on how to
- deal with ".tex" files. The workplace is strongly PC dominated, with a few
- low-powered Intel based Xenix machines.
-
- The questions:
-
- 1) Are there any good PostScript previewers/printer dump utilities
- for MS-DOS available through shareware, preferably by FTP?
-
- 2) What is a good PC based (shareware) TeX package? Most of the
- commercial ones I've seen have looked pretty rough compared to
- the Radical Eye versions of the Amiga and the NeXT... nothing
- wonderful is wanted, just something adequate.
-
- So far the best solution I've been able to suggest to the few people who need
- to print TeX files (without learning about TeX itself...sigh) in a fascistly
- MS Word based environment has been for me to compile their stuff at home,
- and upload it to the Xenix machines at work, for dvips'ing...
-
- Any suggestions?
