365.0. "ST TEX, How good is it ??" by RDGENG::KEANE () Thu Jan 05 1989 11:41

    
    Hello,
    
    	Does anyone know anyone who has access to Compuserve??. Is the
    TEX stuff referred to in the note (see below), P.D.? Is it possible
    to get these files onto a VAX?? . How much does Compuserve charge
    to download??.  Is DVIEPS Tex to Postscript?, what does DVIST do?,
    Is it a Tex viewer on the ST? . Doea anyone know if these files
    are worth pulling over ??                        
    If its worthwhile, and not too expensive then I will share the cost
    of getting it down from COMPUSERVE, unless anyone knows a freebie
    route!!  
    
   Cheers Pat K.

365.1In a couple weeks, I'm SUPPOSED to get a copyPRNSYS::LOMICKAJJeff LomickaThu Jan 05 1989 16:363
I will be getting this on a floppy on Jan 21 from someone who has it,
and will make it available, if it's legal.

365.2also on lakesysRADINA::PASCIUTAAdrian (RDGENG::) PasciutaSun Jan 08 1989 08:155
ST TeX  is also available on the lakesys fileserver.  I've had some success
in  getting files from lakesys in the past, but the system has been off the
air  for  about  a month now (the system manager is apparently reorganising
the file system).

365.3IJSAPL::KLERKTheo de KlerkSun Jan 08 1989 08:349
  The version is available from

   IJSAPL::PSQ:[PUBLIC.SOURCES.ATARI.TEX]*.ARC

   Kibo mailed those sources to me and also converted the DVIEPS.ARC file
   to a format understandable by the older versions of ARC.

365.5Metafont for STIJSAPL::KLERKTheo de KlerkMon Jan 30 1989 13:0317
   I'm in the process of uploading ST-METAFONT too. A ShareWare version
   made by Mathias Mortiz from the University of Nijmegen. I understand
   several other DECies have also ported their own TEX/METAFONT systems.

   Anyway, this Metafont system comes as a set of \MF...\ folders. By
   lack of a TAR or BACKUP utility that everone else seems to have,
   I ARCed things into an ARC per folder.

   The main ARC is MF_MF.ARC that contains the (INI)MF.TTP and a MFSHELL.PRG
   to work under. It also contains a READ.ME that explains where everything
   of all other ARCs is supposed to go. A 1 Mb and harddisk seems
   advisable.

   You will find, by the end of this week, everything in
   IJSAPL::TEXDISK:[TEX.SOURCES.MF.ATARI]*.ARC

(copy of IJSAPL::TEXDISK:[TEX.SOURCES.MF.ATARI]0README.TXT)

Metafont for the Atari ST

This disk (or this arc file) contains a version of Metafont
for the Atari ST.

Metafont is a the font generation program developed by D.E. Knuth.
For a more complete documentation of Metafont
buy and read D.E. Knuth's book about Metafont.

This implementation was done by Matthias Moritz ([email protected])
using CCD Pascal Version 2.
All programs are copyrighted (c) 1988 by Matthias Moritz.
You may distribute the programs only on a non-commercial basis
provided this file (read.me) is included.

This implementation will only work with at least 1 Megabyte of memory.
You can use the package either with a command line interpreter
or with the program 'mfshell.prg' supplied.
There are a number of environment variables which should be
defined. Read 'mf.msh' to obtain more information about these
variables.

DISTRIBUTION MODIFICATION: (by Theo de Klerk)

 The entire MetaFont kit comes as 3 double sided floppies. They have been
 packed in a set of UUE or ARC files that reflect the way you ought to 
 rebuild the system.
