From time to time, various people have asked about the availability of TeX software on Apollo Workstations. I'm happy to report that TeX and MetaFont are indeed available and perform quite nicely on Apollos. In addition, I'd like to announce the availability of a DVI previewer for Apollos. To build TeX and MetaFont for the Apollo, you'll need a copy of the UNIX TeX Tape from the University of Washington, together with a recent version of WEB2C. When you create your "site.h" for WEB2C, you can "#define REGFIX". If you run only 68020-based Apollos, as we do, I recommend you use the "-O -M3000" switches to the C compiler; otherwise, just use "-O". If you need to build a giant TeX (based on the comments in BIGTEX), you should compile it without "-O". The WEB2C version of TeX appears to be about 1.5 times faster than the old Pascal-compiled TeX we had been using on the Apollo. TeX and MetaFont pass the TRIP and TRAP tests respectively. For the record, the particular versions of software I'm using are: Operating System: Domain/OS SR9.7 and BSD4.2 Domain/IX SR9.5 C Compiler: Version 4.89 UNIX TeX Tape: Version of 16 February 1988 WEB2C: Version 2.15 DVIAPOLLO is a DVI previewer that uses the Domain Graphics Primitives (GPR) and Apollo font files; it is based on a DVI previewer for the Sun and X that Tim Freeman of CMU provided. Included with DVIAPOLLO is a program to convert TeX PXL118 files into the form needed for use with DVIAPOLLO. Pierre MacKay has kindly allowed me make "dviapollo.tar.Z" available for public access from the "pub" directory on host JUNE.CS.WASHINGTON.EDU; it may be retrieved from there by anonymous FTP. Enjoy!
