Lauderdale Lines: 32 I am looking into switching from a macintosh system over to unix (it's too awkward programming the mac). I don't have access to a laser printer (at least, not always), but I want to be able to get 150dpi output from a normal, high resolution, printer. I can do it on the mac, but I want to know if there's anything out there like TeX for a dot matrix printer (or if TeX can run on a dmp). If there is such software out there (I need proportional spacing, italics, boldface, underlining, font sizes, super/sub scripts, et al.) I'd appreciate someone telling me where I can get it and about how much it would cost (also if it's PD/shareware). I can't specify which printer or which computer, since I don't own it yet, but it would be something like an IBM-compatible, and the printer would be whatever I can buy for a reasonable price. Since it's distinctly possible that my system-to-be would be text only, I suppose I should specify that what I really need is something that does *not* require a graphics display (I realized before that I could run something like pagemaker under microsoft windows to get the desired effect, but, as I said, I need something for text-only). Any help would be much appreciated. / Aaron Zimmerman \ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- / 3511 NE 22 Ave. \ : Working for Proximity Technology, : < Fort Lauderdale > : but not speaking on their behalf. : \ Florida - 33308 / : UUCP: uunet!proxftl!aaron : \ (3,055,663,511) / -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
