- ReadMe for the PasTeX-GoldED interface
- --------------------------------------
-
- These scripts makes GoldED communicate with the PasTeX server and starts
- DVIprint resp. ShowDVI and a lot else.
-
- 1. Installation
-
- I assume you already installed the PasTeX package and GoldED.
- An installed ToolManager is a big advantage.
-
- Copy the scripts to a place where you want them. Replace TeXedit.rexx with the
- version provided in this distribution.
-
- If you want to use the scripts from GoldED's menus, then look in GoldEDs manual
- for details.
-
- In ToolManager, you can link script to a dock icon. If you put the scripts
- Start_TeX.ged, StartDVIprint.ged, NextError.ged, GoToSDVI.ged and Quit_TeX.ged
- onto the dock, you can easily use this dock on GoldEDs screen given you check
- the "Frontmost" gadget in the dock window.
-
- In DVIprint.ged, you'll have to check the path to StartDVIprint in line 87 and
- change if necessary.
-
- What are those scripts good for?
-
- Start_TeX.ged - starts the TeX server with file for compilation
- StartDVIprint.ged - Starts DVIprint to print the DVI file of the current .tex
- file
- GoToSDVI.ged - goes to ShowDVI and tries to load the file into ShowDVI and
- if ShowDVI's not running, it will start it
- NextError.ged - loads the logfile and points to the next error
- TeXedit.rexx - is called if TeX finds an error. Version for use with
- GoldED.
- Quit_TeX.ged - quits the TeX server
- Letterhead.ged - inserts a file into GoldED --- I use it to put my
- letterhead in. Can speed up work greatly.
-
-
- 2. Legal Stuff
-
- There is no warranty, neither expressed nor implied. YOU use this stuff at your
- own risk.
-
- These scripts are postcardware, so send me a postcard from your town in case you
- use these scripts extensivly. Maybe a donation (I still need a high-speed
- modem....)?

- 3. Author
-
- You can reach me by snail mail. My address:
-
- René Laederach
- Kappelisackerstr. 46
- 3063 Ittigen
- Switzerland
-
- You can phone me at +41/(0)31/921-19-08 in the evening and on weekends, but
- don't forget I live in the Greenwich time zone, so phone when it is evening in
- Europe! When writing, then include an international reply coupon or 3.00 US-$
- (in bills). Any letter without return postage lands in the trashcan or I'll
- keep the disk if you included one (one exactly covers the postage...).

- 4. Acknowledgements to....
-
- Dietmar Eilert who wrote GoldED. An awesome editor with lots of features I
- haven't tried out yet. Those 20 greenbacks/Deutschmark you have to mail him for
- registration is a good investment into the future of the development of good
- ShareWare. Definitely the `Best Buy' if you want a cheap and powerful editor for
- the Amiga.
-
- Dietmar Eilert who made a skeleton macro for the startup and the cleanup of
- ARexx scripts working with GoldED although I didn't use it this time.
-
- Loren J. Rittle who wrote a port of ISpell with an ARexx server mode. Great
- Stuff!
-
- Georg Hessmann for PasTeX, a great implementation which can still be improved
- (I'm still waiting for a less buggy Postscript interface for pictures in
- Specialhost).
-
- CBM for the Amiga 2000 (maybe the successor of the A4000 will have a SCSI host
- adapter again and design a practical casing as well as an Ethernet plug?).
