- Has anyone successfully installed PasTeX1.3 on a 68000 based A2000 or A1000.
-
- Specifically, I need to know what the hardware requirements are to run
- PasTeX1.3 on the Amiga.
-
- I currently have 3 megs of memory (1 chip and 2 fast), ECS Agnus, OCS Denise
- and about 10Megs of space on my hardrive. Is this sufficient?
-
- Also are .dvi files created on the Amiga using either CTeX 2.1 or PasTeX1.3
- compatible with those created on different platforms (specifically DEC/VMS
- based mainframes)?
-
- Finally, after spending a bit of time using the CTeX demo from one of the Fred
- Fish disks I may be interested in picking up the commercial version of TeX.
- What is the general consenus on this version? Is it worth the purchase price
- as compared to the public domain or shareware version? If it also has a driver
- for a HP Laserjet IIP I may be sold.
-
- Any comments or help would be very helpful and appreciated.
