LaTeX is a document preparation system and document markup language. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX and http://latex-project.org/ It's based on TeX, a typesetting system designed by Professor Donald E. Knuth, author of the classic The Art of Computer Programming. It's useful for things like scientific papers where you must embed equations in the document. It's worth learning about, but DOS is the wrong place to do it. The tools basically don't exist there. If you want to learn about/use LaTeX, you really need to be running Windows or Linux. > cheers > DS. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?
