You run LaTeX to turn a *.tex file into a *.dvi file (dvi = device independent). EmTeX had a program that would print a *.dvi file to an Epson dot matrix printer, which is what I did. I recall there was a "high quality" version and a "low quality" version. I might print a low quality version of my document, make final edits, then print a high quality version. If you wanted to preview a document before printing it, there was a program to do that too. Downloading a few zip files from EmTeX and taking a quick look, I think dvidot printed a *.dvi file to a dot matrix printer, and dviscr displayed a *.dvi file to the screen. It's the same idea to how you'd use LaTeX today. If you're running LaTeX on a Linux system, you might convert a *.dvi file to a *.pdf file using dvipdf, or to a *.ps file (for printing to a PostScript laser printer) using dvips. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
