	Well, it's not really a pointer to an Amiga program, but the source
to what is supposedly a very VGA previewer is available for
anonymous FTP in utah.science.edu (I think that is right...).  At any rate,
if you wish to role your own, that would probably be a pretty good place to
start.
	Or, if you are feeling slimy, use the "limited" previewer that 
exists on the DemoTeX disk.  I actually used it for one 10 page paper...
(And then I bought AmigaTeX!  It was worth it!)  Now, if you don't have the
money, I don't know what to say. Other than rolling your own, I think that
you are pretty much out of luck...
