- Regarding LaTeX on the ST. I should say that it is possible to get a reasonable
- working copy of LaTeX onto a 1MB ST with a single double-sided floppy drive.
- This includes: CLI, Tempus2 editor, LaTeX, Previewer, DotMatrix output and
- ~400K
- of spare disc space. Disc swapping only occurs for previewing and printing.
-
- Of course, this situation is still intolerably inconvenient and V E R Y S L O
- W
- but, if you have limited access to more powerful machines and no hard drive,
- you
- should still know that you CAN do it with a single floppy.
-
- LaTeX is still the only real choice. You might look at Signum2, but that is
- very limited in comparison.
