FSS - TeX Editor V1.3 (8/96) FSS-TeXEdit provide an easy interface for LaTeX2e, dvips, Ghostscript and ispell. Most actions can be done like in common writing programmes but you will have all features of LaTeX2e. Read this overview, try TeXEdit and you will not live without it any more. TeXEdit was written and developed in german. After some people asked me for an english version I have started a first translation. It took more time as I thought, but now I have a first result. Of course you will find some errors (particularly in the INF file) but feel free to send me a bug report. I try to complete the help file soon. I am sure that it takes some time to finish the INF file, but I want to place TeXEdit at your disposal now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some features: - 32bit multi-threaded design which is able to handle long file names. - Easiest way to build TeX source files with 'pull-down' and 'click-up' menus, or with drag and drop. - Address data base included. - Shortcuts for macros - Text modules - The way of formating is the same as in common programmes: Select text and choose the formating command (bold, center, rotate etc.). - The menu bar provides access to more than 150 LaTeX-commands. - Input of (mathematic or special) characters with preview. - Supports dvips and LaTeX2e. - One shell as console for all programmes - Templates - Quick access window with all captions, which is able to move the text to the selected caption. - Comfortable editing of several files - ReXX interface - Automatic insertion of EPS, PCX and HPGL files by drag and drop. - Drag and drop - for import commands (EPS, PCX, HPGL, TeX) - for deleting the window - for (formated) printing - Help for LaTeX commands (F1) and access to all with emTeX distributed INF files. - Support of extern speller. - Preload option for a quick startup. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Systemrequirements: - OS/2 2.1 or higher - 1,8 MB disk space - VGA minimum 800x600 recommended - 12 MB RAM recommended (for simultaneous use of TeXEdit, Previewer and TeX) - Installed emTeX distribution - dvips, Ghostscript and hp2xx recommended -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation: The installation procedure is described in TeXEdit.INF. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deinstallation: - Therefor you've to call DEINST.CMD.
