Available since mid-1986, +\TeX{} on the Commodore Amiga, written by Tom Rokicki, was the first to use +scalable font technology to provide the best possible output on any printer. It +was the first typesetting program to allow interprocess communication with other +applications through ARexx. And now, Amiga\TeX{} is the first publishing +program on the Amiga to support fully arbitrary \PS\ fonts and graphics +on-screen. + +Amiga\TeX{} users can choose from thousands of \PS\ Type~3 and hinted Type~1 +fonts. The fonts can be scaled, slanted, and stretched. \PS\ fonts will be +rendered automatically for screen display or any printer as needed. \PS\ +graphics from a wide variety of sources -- including virtually all structured +drawing packages on the Amiga and other machines -- can be easily scaled and +integrated into Amiga\TeX{} documents. The graphics will appear on the screen +exactly as they will on a printer, within the limits of the screen resolution. + +Widely recognized as the best \TeX{} implementation available for any +computer, Amiga\TeX{} is fully compatible with the latest \TeX{} 3.1 and \MF{} +2.7 standards, and fully supports virtual fonts in the previewer and all device +drivers. The multitasking and interprocess communication capabilities of the +Amiga provide concurrent formatting, printing, +previewing, and editing, and all such communication can be controlled through +ARexx. + +Amiga\TeX{} is a comprehensive typesetting system. Primary strengths of the +software include equations and tables, long documents (there is no limit on +document length except for the size of your hard disk), and the highest quality +typesetting. + + +The retail price of the new 3.1a release is \quid140.00, claimed to be lower +than the cost of direct import. A free functional demonstration disk is +available on written (not telephone!) request. For more information contact +the exclusive UK and Eire distributors + +{\obeylines +Industrial Might and Logic +58 Cobden Road +Brighton BN2 2TJ} + +\noindent +or call Paul Ockenden on (0273) 621393.\noauthor |
