To run TeX, you must:
assign tex: df1:tex
TeX can then be invoked by:
tex:tex
and the previewer by:
run tex:preview
TeX on the Amiga works exactly as described in the TeXbook by Don Knuth.
If you are unfamiliar with TeX, I urge you to run to your local college
bookstore and purchase a copy.
The previewer is fairly easy to use. The following keyboard commands
are available in addition to the gadget and menu selections:
f[name] -- open a particular file for previewing (no extension)
p[n] -- goto to a particular page
space, right arrow -- go forward a page
backspace, delete, left arrow -- go back a page
up arrow -- go up on the page
down arrow -- go down on the page
q -- quit
s -- toggle zoom/unzoom sizes
The limitations that make this a demo version are: TeX will only process
small files, and it runs out of memory rather quickly. The previewer will
quit after ten pages. Only a small number of fonts are provided.
The full version of AmigaTeX comes on eight floppies, and will handle
larger documents than most mainframe versions of \TeX, if your Amiga has
at least 768K of RAM. On a 512K system, you should be able to run most of
your documents. On the eight distribution floppies you will find
A new, smaller and faster \TeX, version 2.1
LaTeX 2.09
BibTeX
IniTeX
Full source to the AmigaTeX manual
A font caching scheme to handle the
1200 previewer font files
A previewer which opens on the workbench screen
Keystroke commands for the previewer
Font conversion utilities gftopk, pxtopk, and pktype
You will also find a new, expanded, 80-page manual, with a large set of
font samples. All of this comes attractively packaged in a three-ring
binder. To get it, send $200 to Norman Naugle, n^2 Computer Consultants,
College Station, TX 77841.
The AmigaTeX package does not come with any printer drivers. Printer
drivers are being developed, and are currently available for the QMS-KISS,
QMS-SmartWriter, Epson MX-80 and compatibles, Okimate-20, and Citizen
150-D. More drivers are being developed, including a PostScript driver.
These drivers are available at $100 each from the above address.
Please address any comments, suggestions, or complaints to Tomas Rokicki,
Box 2081, Stanford, CA 94305. Thanks!
