Short: TeX frontend wordproc., English vers.

NAME

    TeXt Plus Professional V4.10

DESCRIPTION

    TeXt  Plus  Professional  is  a  TeX frontend word processor. TeX is a
    professional freeware typesetting programm. The  greatest  problem  of
    TeX  for  the  average user was - up to now - TeX's complexity and the
    resulting difficulty to fast and efficiently create documents. This is
    where TPP starts to work.

    Now  you  just  have to load a form sheet, which has to be modified at
    the respective places only. After this the file is compiled to a  TeX-
    file by TPP, which then itself is processed by the TeX compiler. After
    both  compilations  either  the previewer or the printer driver can be
    invoked.

    TPP cooperates with PasTeX, the freeware Amiga implementation  of  TeX
    written  by Georg Hessmann. Among TPP's features are tables, staggered
    lists, mailmerge, footnotes, inclusion of graphics, an ARexx-port (111
    commands) and full OS2.0/3.0 compatibility. You can make  use  of  all
    functions of TeX, even if they are not supported directly, e. g. there
    is no editor for mathematical formulae, yet.

    TPP  combines  its user friendliness with the typesetting power of TeX
    in order to open the world of TeX to a totally new group of users.

NEW FEATURES

    - Full support of LaTeX.
    - Automatic generation of an index with the help of MakeIndex.
    - Printing via PRT:. (TeX is not needed for this).
