Second release of CD-ROM PasTeX
After the first CD-ROM version on Fresh-Fish CD Oct 93, this is now
the second release. It's still not the PasTeX 1.4 version, but it
includes the newest BETA version os PasTeX 1.4.
Whats new compared to the first CD-ROM version:
- New MetaFont version. Now MetaFont 2.71 from Andreas Scherer is
included.
- More fonts. I've added dc and wasy2 fonts.
(dc fonts are new fonts with 256 chars per font)
- More font resolutions. Now there are additional 204x196 (FAX) and
600x600 dpi fonts.
- Some changes at the CALLMF scripts.
- New TeX macros.
- New printers in DVIprint.printers.
- Includes a BETA version of PasTeX 1.4!
PasTeX 1.4 BETA includes new DVIprint, new ShowDVI, brand new
SpecialHost, TeX 3.1415 but no new docs. Wait for the real
PasTeX 1.4 if you need the docs.
- LaTeX2e
A complete LaTeX2e version is installed in TeX:macros/latex2e.
How to use LaTeX2e
- Rename TeX:config/{Big}TeX.cnf.latex2e to {Big}TeX.cnf
(With PasTeX 1.3 you have to use bigvirtex)
- Call TeX with "virtex &latex2e yourfile.tex"
All LaTeX2e styles are copied to TeX:macros/latex2e/inputs.
