I use TEX on my machine under Mandrake 8.1 The package is tetex. I was brought up on Plain TEX, but for non mathematical use LaTEX might be a better bet. I create a text file Joe.tex using emacs containing the LaTEX instructions. Then latex Joe.tex produces a file Joe.dvi which I can view and/or print using xdvi Joe.dvi
What exactly is the difference between TeX and LaTeX? I know LaTeX is essentially TeX macros, but what would one use straight TeX for? Regards, -- Nicholas John Murison ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't mess with penguins http://www.urgusabic.net
