============================== README.list83 ==============================
This is disk 83 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
This disk contains a demo version of TeX, ported to the Amiga by
Tomas Rokicki. The disk is unchanged except for the following:
(1) I have added this file, README.list83, the standard
distribution info file, README.dist, and associated
icon files, plus "less" to read the text files.
(2) I have copied all the files to a freshly formatted
disk, to create the master distribution disk, using
xcopy, which preserves the file dates. This insures
that disk fragmentation is kept to a minimum.
(3) In order to make room for the files I have added, I
have compressed the file TeX/inputs/amigatex.tex using
a version of compress (compress.b13) that should run on
any standard 512K amiga. This version of compress is
found in c/compress.b13. To recover the original file,
execute the commands:
cd AmigaLibDisk83:TeX/inputs
:c/compress.b13 <amigatex.tex.Z >ram:amigatex.tex -d
Since this is a demo version of Tom's commercial product, it has several
limitations that let you get the flavor of the real thing but encourage
you to buy the commercial version. These limitations include TeX being
limited to processing only small files, the previewer being limited
to displaying ten pages or less, and only a small number of fonts being
provided. The full version of AmigaTeX comes on eight floppies and will
handle larger documents than most mainframe versions of TeX. See the
tex/README file for further info.
