- TeXmenu SUMMARY:
-
- TeXmenu provides a unified NeXTSTEP front end for Donald Knuth's famous
- typesetting system TeX. TeXmenu integrates all the tools needed to use TeX
- in one application, i.e. you are no longer forced to handle various tools like
- the editor, the previewer, utilities such as spell checkers, and TeX itself
- from different applications. TeXmenu offers a powerful project management,
- including structure recognition, file handling and project search, thus
- providing a convenient way of handling larger multi-file documents. TeXmenu is
- designed as an ``open'' application, i.e. it does not depend on any version
- specific features of TeX, viewers, editors (and friends) and is widely
- customizable. TeXmenu offers services so the user can keep in touch with it
- from any other application, get help on LaTeX, translate his/her current
- project, any file or even screen selections. When running TeX in the
- background TeXmenu alerts the user when an error occurs and offers a
- convenient way to jump between the error message and location of the error, as
- well as letting the user continue the translation afterwards!
-
- Distribution is done shareware-like (i.e. you are allowed to copy a
- unregistered version provided you're running it in demo-mode) but TeXmenu will
- have some annoying ``features'' until you register your copy of it. Similarly,
- TeXmenu comes ``shareware priced''. For those who want a good TeX front end
- without paying anything for it, TeXmenu version 2.2 (black hardware only)
- remains in the public domain (although ``donations'' are still accepted).
-
-
- TeXmenu 5.0 PRERELEASE:
-
- This is a prerelease! Currently I don't have the time to implement all those
- changes and improvements my TODO list holds :-( The file MISSINGIN5.0 included
- in this version's distribution contains a list of things missing in this
- prerelease the final version 5.0 will contain. However, this version has a lot
- improvements making it worth releasing it now:
-
-
- LIST OF SOME NEW FEATURES IN TeXmenu 5.0 PRERELEASE:
-
- o TeXinfo and LaTeX2e support.
-
- o Customizable file extensions (first application running under NS
- offering that!). Every extension you add can be customized to
- trigger a different TeX command.
-
- o Print from within TeXmenu. Still using dvips, the look&feel of
- TeX printing has become like in any other NS application! This
- includes n-up printing with cropmarks!
-
- o OSC-Sequences to customize TeXmenu's title bar.
-
- o New and - especially for sites - improved licensing scheme.
-
- o Find action uses the find pasteboard.
-
- o Several bugs fixed.
-
-
- TeXmenu PRICING:
-
- TeXmenu 5.0pre is a free upgrade for all registered TeXmenu 4.x users!
- Upgrades from 3.x require a 50% upgrade fee.
-
- Individual 5.0pre license: US$ 50 / DM 60

-
- FUTURE DEVELOPMENT:
-
- In this release TeXmenu supports the architectures m68k, i386, hppa
- and sparc. Further upgrades and a final 5.0 release are planed.
- Black hardware will be supported at least as long as NeXT does with
- its OS.
