\centerline{\bf Archimedes \TeX}
\smallskip
\noindent 
Archi\TeX\ (\TeX\ and \MF\ on
 Archimedes computers)  consists of:
\item{\rtr} Knuth \TeX\ 2.93 fully verified
\item{\rtr} {\sc initex}
\item{\rtr} plain \TeX\ (source and format file)
\item{\rtr} \TFM\ files
\item{\rtr} \DVI\ driver for screen previewing and various
printers;
          runs under Arthur 1.2 and Risc-OS 2.00
          using the {\sc wimp} environment and multi-tasks
under Risc-OS 
\item{\rtr} full font set for the screen (95
pixel/inch) 
\item{\rtr} fonts for one printer (as
described under `Printers supported')


\noindent Also available are:
\item{\rtr} \LaTeX\ (format and source files)
\item{\rtr} \BibTeX

\noindent
Archi\TeX\ runs on any Archimedes with at least 1\,Mbyte of RAM and
one double sided disk drive. A second drive and/or a hard disk
and more memory are recommended.

\smallskip
\goodbreak
\leftline{\sl Printers supported}
\noindent
The \DVI\ driver currently supports besides the screen in
any resolution the following printer-types (the numbers in
brackets are the horizontal/vertical resolution in
pixel/inch):

\item{\rtr}EPSON FX (240$\times$216, 80$\times$72)
\item{\rtr}EPSON MX-80 (120$\times$144, 60$\times$72)
\item{\rtr}EPSON LQ/SQ (360$\times$180, 180$\times$180)
\item{\rtr}NEC P6 (360$\times$360, 360$\times$180, 180$\times$180)
\item{\rtr}NEC P2 (120$\times$120)
\item{\rtr} OKI uLine (288$\times$288, 144$\times$144)
\item{\rtr}HP-Laserjet+ (pixel-driver) (300$\times$300, 150$\times$150)

\noindent These include the following printers:
FX-80, FX-100, MX-80, SR-10 (IBM), NR-15, SG-15, KXP 1092, P2, P3, P5, P6, P7,
P8, P9, LQ-2500, SQ-2500, OKI 293 (IBM), OKI 293 (Microline), DPL24D, DPL24I,
DL3300, HP-Laserjet+.

The package contains one printer font set, which you can select for one of the
above.

\smallskip
\leftline{\sl Features}
\item{\rtr}search paths for input files, paths for output files
          (using system variables)
\item{\rtr}additional characters for other languages can be implemented
	  if requested
\item{\rtr}`Libraries' (similar to \unix-Archive for \TFM\
and font files,
          thus reducing space requirements and speeding up the font
          access time; also eliminating problems with too many files
          in too many directories on a hard disk
\item{\rtr}one driver for the screen and printers
\item{\rtr}7 different types of printers
\item{\rtr}`landscape' print option
\item{\rtr}screen output using one, several or no windows
\item{\rtr}screen resolution can be selected, thus enabling
          magnified (for example,  using the printer fonts) and smaller
          output (for example, whole page vertically with appropiate
fonts) \item{\rtr}`overview' function (reduces output to display
a full page
          on the screen) enables you to get an impression of the page layout
\item{\rtr} printer parameters for adapting half compatible printers
\item{\rtr}optimizes printer output (using minimal empty graphics)
\item{\rtr} uses \PK\ files (\PXL\ files can also be used).
\item{\rtr}the \DVI\ driver multi-tasks under Risc-OS
\item{\rtr} both the format and print process can be interrupted
          (even in the middle of a page)
\item{\rtr}pages can be printed in any sequence (`skip mode'),
          which can be defined in a file
\item{\rtr}the unpacked \PK\ fonts are swapped, thus only
the packed
          fonts must fit into memory
\item{\rtr}a log window is used to display memory use, unpacking of
          fonts etc.
\item{\rtr} missing scaled fonts can be substituted with unscaled fonts
\item{\rtr}the page size -- the size of the bitmap buffer -- can be
          automatically taken from the postamble

\leftline{\MFsl}
\noindent
Consists of:

\item{\rtr}Knuth \MF\ 1.7 fully verified (includes a

fonts of
          the \LaTeX\ system
