and has been tested on many systems. +It requires +<A HREF="http://www.scriptics.com/">Tcl, the appropriate Tk</A> +and <A HREF="http://www.neosoft.com/tclx/">TclX</A>. +This version runs with Tcl/Tk/TclX +(Tcl8.2, Tcl8.1, Tcl8.0 and Tcl7.6). +<P> +There exist +<A HREF="http://www.iwd.uni-bremen.de/xtem/xtem_texmenus_eng.html" +><B>more versions of xtem_TeXMenu</B></A> +running with other versions of Tcl/Tk/TclX +<P> +The configuration has to be done by the local TeX-Administrator +by adapting configuration files ("open lists"). +<P> +xtem is <B>not</B> a TeX system, i.e. you need an additional TeX-package for Unix such as +<A HREF="http://www.tug.org/teTeX/">teTeX</A> +or another TeX-package, e.g. from +<A HREF="http://www.tug.org/texlive.html">TeX Live</A>. + + + +<H2><A

adapted to new Tcl version automatically, </LI> + <LI> the main file list in the file selection menu can be reduced + to display only TeX files having a <tt>\documentclass</tt> + or
