I'm not a hardcore TeX >user, and can't advise on how you'd get tex-3.14159 to work for you. This is an interesting question. tex-3.14159 (along with it's friends) is the traditional TeX. I've been thinking about pulling teTeX out and replacing with this because the footprint is 75% smaller than teTeX. It would require pulling in some 25 separate pieces, though, to make it work for the Doc Proj. It would definately be the harder way of going. If there is any interest out there in making this approach work, I could pursue it further. [snip] >> * What does LaTeX have to do with any of this? > >It doesn't. As I understand it; It does. JadeTeX is built on the base LaTeX format, along with a half dozen LaTeX add ons. You will need LaTeX2e and friends installed to build the JadeTeX format files. LaTeX and dvips are installed automatically with teTeX. -- Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
