- Hello,
-
- I'm sorry, but this isn't the new PasTeX 1.4 version. :-(
-
- PasTeX 1.4 is still not finished (it's in beta stage, but
- there are still some bugs to fix), but as soon as its ready,
- it will also appear on such a Fish-CD.
-
-
- Ok, this isn't PasTeX 1.4, but what's the hell is it??
-
-
- Based on the programs of PasTeX 1.3 and many utilities
- ported from various persons (thanks!) to the Amiga, it's
- a hopefull complete and free TeX installation for all
- C= Amiga computers.
-
-
- What's new from PasTeX 1.3:
-
- - Slight new DVIprint version 1.19.
- It now works with 48pin printers.
- (Please ignore the ß-version message :)
-
- - New initex/virtex programs.
- Fixed two small (?) bugs and compiled with SAS/C 6.3.
- There is a 68020 version of initex/virtex too.
- This version does't need a 881 FPU! So, it should work
- on A1200 too.
-
- - New macro packages.
-
- - More fonts.
-
- - ...
-
- - Many TeX utilities ported from various other persons.
- I've get the archives from AMINET and included it in
- this TeX installation. The original archives can be
- found in TeX/Archives.
-
-
- What will be new in PasTeX 1.4:
-
- ShowDVI:
-
- - Much better (2.0) look
- - Localized
- - AmigaGuide help
- - ScreenMode requester
- - Window on the workbench (or every other PubScreen)
- - DVI-file cache
- - Needs much less Chip-Ram
- - New bugs (uhmm.. :)
- - ...
-
- DVIprint:
-
- - Fixed some bugs
- - Localized
- - New IFF save routine
- - New printer entries in DVIprint.printers
- - GUI window (with MUI, but CLI version works also without MUI)
- - 600dpi LaserJet4 mode
- - ...
-
- SpecialHost:
-
- - New GUI, new draw modes, ...
-
-
- When will PasTeX 1.4 be released?
-
- ...can't say. Depends on the speed I find some annoying bugs
- and on the time I have. I think it should be finished in 2-3 month.

-
- Happy TeX'ing,
