-
- <p>There are several commercial versions<a id="id2924356"
- class="indexterm" name="id2924356"></a> of TeX on the market.
- The advantage of commercial programs over free ones is that
- they provide an automated installation procedure and some
- level of technical support. There's no reason to believe that
- a commercial implementation of TeX is necessarily better than
- a free one (or vice versa, for that matter) because the
- source code for TeX is in the public domain.</p>
-
- <p>The following sections highlight several commercial
- implementations of TeX.</p>
-
- <div class="section">

- <h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a

- ArborText</h2>
- </div>
- </div>
-
- <p>ArborText<a id="id2924394" class="indexterm"
- name="id2924394"></a> sells µTeX<a id="id2924249"
- class="indexterm" name="id2924249"></a> for MS-DOS<a
- id="id2924260" class="indexterm" name="id2924260"></a>
- systems as well as an implementation of TeX for unix
- workstations. The ArborText previewer and DVI driver
- software are also available for both unix and MS-DOS
- systems. The following discussion is based on experiences
- with µTeX version 3.14B, the MS-DOS implementation of
- ArborText's TeX package.</p>
-
- <p>The µTeX package is a complete TeX implementation for
- MS-DOS. The additional utilities, <b>PLtoTF</b><a
- id="id2924296" class="indexterm" name="id2924296"></a>,
- <b>TFtoPL</b><a id="id2924310" class="indexterm"
- name="id2924310"></a>, and BibTeX<a id="id2924318"
- class="indexterm" name="id2924318"></a>, are also included.
- Neither MetaFont nor <b>MakeIndex</b> is provided.</p>
-
- <p>The default installation of µTeX creates format files
- for Plain TeX and LaTeX. To be as fast as possible, µTeX
- creates executable versions of TeX for each of these
- formats; these versions have the appropriate macro packages
- preloaded into the executable. You can use the standard
- notation to load alternate macro packages if you wish to
- save disk space.</p>
-
- <p>ArborText includes a lot of support for using TeX for
- non-English documents<a id="id2931362" class="indexterm"
- name="id2931362"></a>. Several files of international
- hyphenation patterns (English, French<a id="id2931375"
- class="indexterm" name="id2931375"></a>, German<a
- id="id2931383" class="indexterm" name="id2931383"></a>,
- Dutch<a id="id2931392" class="indexterm"
- name="id2931392"></a>, and Portuguese<a id="id2931400"
- class="indexterm" name="id2931400"></a>) are provided, as
- well as reprints of the TUGboat articles describing new
- features of TeX version 3.0 and virtual fonts.</p>
-
- <p>Designed for an MS-DOS environment having only limited
- memory, µTeX uses a swap file (potentially located in EMS<a
- id="id2931415" class="indexterm" name="id2931415"></a> or
- XMS memory<a id="id2931426" class="indexterm"
- name="id2931426"></a>) to process large files. Several
- environment variables can be used to alter the size of
- internal TeX data structures when a new format is being
- produced. In terms of big and small versions, µTeX can be
- configured either way. These choices are made when you
- create the format file however, so you will need to use
- iniTeX<a id="id2931434" class="indexterm"
- name="id2931434"></a> (included with µTeX) to make a
- &#8220;bigger&#8221; TeX.</p>
-
- <p>One of the most interesting features of µTeX is a
- quick-and-dirty preview mode provided by the TeX
- executable. After at least one page of your document has
- been processed, you can switch to a preview mode and see
- what the page looks like while TeX continues processing
- your document. This previewer is not particularly
- attractive, but it's quick and easy to use. No other
- previewer is provided. ArborText sells a fully functional
- previewer as a separate package.</p>
-
- <p>To print your documents, you must purchase or obtain a
- DVI driver separately. ArborText sells two drivers, one for
- HP LaserJet printers and another for PostScript printers.
- The µTeX distribution includes a complete set of
- <tt>TFM</tt> files, but it does not include any <tt>PK</tt>
- files.</p>
-
- <p>The ArborText previewer is summarized in the section
- called &#8220;<a href="ch09.html#sec.arb.preview"
- title="TeX Preview">the section called &#8220;TeX
- Preview&#8221;</a>&#8221; in Chapter&#160;<a

- </div>
- </div>
-
- <p>\yyTeX<a id="id2931596" class="indexterm"
- name="id2931596"></a> is an MS-DOS<a id="id2931608"
- class="indexterm" name="id2931608"></a> implementation of
- TeX by Y&amp;Y Inc.<a id="id2931622" class="indexterm"
- name="id2931622"></a> (a 386 or higher processor is
- required). \yyTeX is sold as a bundled package with
- <b>DVIWindo</b><a id="id2931641" class="indexterm"
- name="id2931641"></a>, <b>dvipsone</b><a id="id2931655"
- class="indexterm" name="id2931655"></a>,<sup>[<a
- id="id2931663" name="id2931663"
- href="#ftn.id2931663">126</a>]</sup> and a set of
- PostScript fonts (either the Computer Modern fonts, the
- Lucida Bright and Lucida New Math fonts, or the MathTime
- fonts). The installation provides format files for Plain
- TeX and LaTeX.</p>
-
- <p>\yyTeX stands out among TeX systems because of its
- memory management. Unlike other TeX systems, which exist in
- big and small versions, all of \yyTeX's memory management
- is dynamic. All of the buffers that TeX uses (main memory,
- font memory, string memory, etc.) will expand to meet the
- needs of the most complex documents you create. The memory
- required for hyphenation patterns is dynamically allocated
- as well, which means that you can construct multilingual
- formats with as many sets of hyphenation patterns as you
- need (multilingual formats are discussed in more detail in
- Chapter&#160;<a href="ch07.html"
- title="Chapter&#160;7.&#160;International Considerations">Chapter&#160;7</a>,
- <span class="emphasis"><em><a href="ch07.html"
- title="Chapter&#160;7.&#160;International Considerations">Chapter&#160;7</a></em></span>).
- The advantage of dynamic memory management over a fast and
- big TeX is that \yyTeX starts out small (big TeXs reserve a
- large fixed amount of memory even when processing simple
- jobs that don't require very much). In a multitasking
- environment where several programs are competing for
- memory, one large program can slow the progress of the
- entire system. \yyTeX's memory manager supports XMS<a
- id="id2931742" class="indexterm" name="id2931742"></a>,
- VCPI<a id="id2931757" class="indexterm"
- name="id2931757"></a>, and DPMI<a id="id2931765"
- class="indexterm" name="id2931765"></a>. This means that it
- can run under MS-DOS with any of the common memory managers
- and under Windows, Windows NT, and DOS sessions in OS/2<a
- id="id2931776" class="indexterm" name="id2931776"></a><a
- id="id2931789" class="indexterm" name="id2931789"></a><a
- id="id2931802" class="indexterm" name="id2931802"></a>.</p>
-
- <p>\yyTeX has a couple of additional strengths for
- multilingual use: it supports customizable input character
- translation and more than 255 internal font numbers. Most
- versions of TeX only support a maximum of 255 fonts in any
- single document.</p>

-FIXME:

- </div>
-
- <p><b>Scientific Word</b> is a powerful program that might
- prove to be invaluable in some circumstances. An ideal
- candidate for <b>Scientific Word</b> is someone with little
- or no desire to learn TeX, but who wants professional
- quality output for documents containing a lot of
- mathematics. <b>Scientific Word</b> is not simply a fast,
- interactive previewer; it really is a visual editor that
- produces TeX code behind the scenes. You enter document
- elements (even complex elements like mathematics) in an
- interactive push-button fashion, and <b>Scientific Word</b>
- translates it into the appropriate LaTeX input. This is
- very different from Blue Sky Research's <b>Textures</b>
- where the user types in TeX but has nearly instantaneous
- feedback.</p>
-
- <p>Unfortunately, the complexity of TeX vastly exceeds
- <b>Scientific Word's</b> ability to act as a visual editor,
- and this leads to a number of potentially confusing
- discrepancies. For example, in a TeX document, the
- \parindent and \parskip control sequences control the
- indentation of the first line of a paragraph and the
- distance between paragraphs. In <b>Scientific Word</b>, the
- on-screen appearance of the document is controlled
- separately. This difference is apparent in Figure&#160;<a
- href="ch14.html#fig.sciword"
- title="Figure&#160;14.4.&#160;Editing a document with Scientific Word ">
- Figure&#160;14.4</a>, where the paragraphs appear to be
- indented with no additional space between them, and
- Figure&#160;<a href="ch14.html#fig.commercial.swpreview"
- title="Figure&#160;14.5.&#160;Preview of the Scientific Word document shown in Figure ">
- Figure&#160;14.5</a> (the same document shown in the
- previewer) where the paragraphs are not indented but have
- additional space between them.</p>
-
- <p>These discrepancies arise because <b>Scientific Word</b>
- was designed with the same philosophy as LaTeX: separation
- of content and form. The purpose of the <b>Scientific
- Word</b> editor is to allow you to organize your thoughts
- and perfect the content of your document. It is the job of
- LaTeX, in conjunction with the document style options that
- you select, to perfect the appearance of your document. The
- display shown in Figure&#160;<a
- href="ch14.html#fig.sciword"
- title="Figure&#160;14.4.&#160;Editing a document with Scientific Word ">
- Figure&#160;14.4</a> is not incorrect in any way, it just
- isn't WYSIWYG. TCI Research claims that &#8220;by going
- beyond WYSIWYG, <b>Scientific Word</b> allows you to focus
- on the creative process&#160;$&#8230;$ and not the layout
- commands necessary to typeset [your document].&#8221;</p>
