I don't use Tex, never really got into after looking into it when working at a CAD/CAM software manufacture back in the '90s and evaluating it's use for our software documentation. Corel Draw and PageMaker turned out to be a more effective solution for more people being able to collaborate without having to spend a long time to become proficient in using Tex. Tex is complex, nothing for a novice, with very few tools coming even close to what you do these days with real WYSIWYG tools. > Anyways, let me again point you to a DJGPP mirror.
