- In addition, Tom Rokicki has told me that with the new TeXview 3.0 (the
- one which will come wih NeXTstep 3.0 in, we hope, a few weeks) Derek's app
- can utilize the "reopen on same page" feature which has been added to
- TeXview, meaning loTeX can provide continous type/preview feedback on even
- multipage documents. i.e. itgoes a long way towards instituting a
- "Lightning TeXtures" application on the NeXT. I suggest you check out
- this really nice (and free) application.
