- Well, folks, after chasing it for nearly three years, I have finally found
- a PD version of the TeX typesetting program ported to OS9/68000. It is the
- port done by John Wainwright. I found it on a local BBS back home over
- the summer. I had to download it at 1200 baud, but now it's available via
- anonymous FTP from hermit.cs.wisc.edu, presently in the /incoming/OSKTeX
- directory. It will likely be moved to another directory as soon as Mr.
- Pruyne finds time to update his maintenance.
- Included are the source code to virtex and initex, as well as executables
- of each, and source code to dvi2tty, a dumb-terminal dvi previewer. I also
- included a simple C program called 'tex', which does the command line
- substitution of 'tex foo.tex' for the more cumbersome 'virtex &plain foo.tex'
- Now all that is needed is a printer driver to take the dvi files and print
- them out, as well as the rastered font files required for that printer driver.
- Let me know if you have source for a dvi driver of some sort. I'm looking
- for a dvi-to-epson driver myself, though I'm sure others are interested in the
- drivers and fonts for their respective printers as well.
-
- Enjoy!
