Lines: 16 Thanks to everybody who helped with the installation problem for the HP 840 I don't have it installed yet, but I have enough information that I should be able to get it going, or get a tape from someone who has done the work Next question: Are there any syntax checkers or debuggers for TeX or LaTeX out there in source code form. We waste a lot of time debugging LaTeX around here because running LaTeX takes a while, and its not smart enough to spot a mismatched parenthesis.(the biggest headache with complicated equations) Incidentally, we are currently running TeX on PC's, so Emacs add-ins, etce are not feasible just yet.
