I am looking for Latex, but all I can find is something called TeTex which is almost 40mb to download. Am I looking at the right thing or have I missed completly? Thanks D --- "d.casal" <d.casal@ntlworld.com> wrote:

That's the right gadget. There's TeTeX for unix/linux, emtex for OS/2 and DOS, MikTeX for Windows and OzTex for Macs. And in all probability about a bazzillion others, all different ports of the same codebase and capable of running LaTeX (well, mybe not the java and 8086 versions :-)
