- The above answer is true, but isn't answering the question. Alpha
- has some support for editing TeX files, but isn't the formatter
- or previewer. There is a good PD TeX: OzTeX is on all the major
- TeX servers, such as ymir.claremont.edu and niord.shsu.edu, and
- on some mac/TeX servers like midway.claremont.edu. The latter
- site has a number of other interesting mac tools.
-
- Note that it will take 10+Mb to install OzTeX!

- Hope this helps--Norris Preyer
