Short: TeX frontend wordprocessor Architecture: m68k-amigaos NAME TeXt Plus Professional V5.00 DESCRIPTION TeXt Plus Professional is a TeX frontend word processor. TeX is a professional freeware typesetting programm. The greatest problem of TeX for the average user was - up to now - TeX's complexity and the resulting difficulty to fast and efficiently create documents. This is where TPP starts to work. Now you just have to load a form sheet, which has to be modified at the respective places only. After this the file is compiled to a TeX- file by TPP, which then itself is processed by the TeX compiler. After both compilations either the previewer or the printer driver can be invoked. TPP cooperates with PasTeX, the freeware Amiga implementation of TeX written by Georg Hessmann, and with AmigaTeX ((c) Radical Eye Software). Among TPP's features are tables, staggered lists, mailmerge, footnotes, inclusion of graphics, an ARexx-port (122 commands) and full OS2.xx/3.xx compatibility. You can make use of all functions of TeX, even if they are not supported directly, e. g. there is no editor for mathematical formulae, yet. TPP combines its user friendliness with the typesetting power of TeX in order to open the world of TeX to a totally new group of users. TPP is not only a TeX frontend. You can also use it as a normal editor and print files via the printer.device. NEW FEATURES - AmigaTeX is from now on supported. - user definable menus, keymap, and macros - completely localized (available languages: english, deutsch) - clipboard support - AppWindow, AppIcon - 11 new ARexx commands (total number of commands now: 122) HARD- AND SOFTWARE-REQUIREMENTS - Amiga OS 2.04 - at least. 2 MB RAM - at least.1,5 MB hard disk space (10MB when working with TeX) - PasTeX V1.3 or AmigaTeX DOWNLOAD Any Aminet site, e.g. Switzerland litamiga.epfl.ch 128.178.151.32 pub/aminet/ Scandinavia ftp.luth.se 130.240.18.2 pub/aminet/ Germany ftp.uni-kl.de 131.246.9.95 pub/aminet/ Germany ftp.uni-erlangen.de 131.188.1.43 pub/aminet/ Germany ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de 130.149.17.7 pub/aminet/ Germany ftp.th-darmstadt.de 130.83.55.75 pub/aminet/ Germany ftp.uni-paderborn.de 131.234.2.32 pub/aminet/ USA ftp.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4 pub/aminet/ USA ftp.cdrom.com 192.153.46.2 pub/aminet/ USA merlin.etsu.edu 192.43.199.20 pub/aminet/ DIRECTORY text/tex FILE NAME TPP500.lha (769349 bytes) FURTHER SOURCES FIDO: Mowgli 2:242/7 +49-(0)241-40 59 49 PasTeX: ftp.uni-passau.de /pub/amiga/tex/PasTeX13 PRICE Shareware. $30, DM 50, £20 DISTRIBUTABILITY Freely distributable but copyrighted. NOTE TO REGISTERED USERS I decided not to inform all registered users about the release of this version. Instead of this all users already registered for 4.xx can get a free update by sending me their PGP public key via e-mail. They will get an encrypted TPP-keyfile in return, which prevents the nerve- racking requester form popping up.
