Message-ID: <474@kosman.UUCP> Date: 23 Sep 88 18:30:18 GMT Organization: K.O.'s Manor - Vital Computer Systems, Oxnard, CA 93035 Lines: 23 Hmmmm. I'm not even sure what newsgroup this should go in. I got the TeX/LaTeX/etc stuff for the unix-pc, as offered some time ago in this group. It is neat stuff, has lots of fonts and so on. However, I find I had the wrong impression of what it was and how I would be able to use it. Do I have to write a printer driver to do dot matrix stuff? How is this to be sent to hard copy? HOW DO I WRITE TEX SOURCE? There are almost no docs in the distribution, so what I'm really asking is where should I look for more. I have here on-site several macintosh-en and unix-pcs, a LaserWriter Plus, and and ATT471 printer. These are all capable of some fancy graphics things, if I can ever get them talking together.
