I would guess yes.
Also can I add that the ConTeXt typesetter is available in TeXLive, which claims to do presentations too, although I have never tried it. ConTeXt puts more emphasis on page layout than any previous TeX compiler. To me it feels like arranging a HTML page using CSS. Also I there will be binary packages for 4.3, maybe even on the cdrom, I dont know. You can get binary packages for -current on the ftp servers, and I have backported to 4.2 for people who wish to use TeXLive on 4.2 , although the packages were made before Predrag found the powerdot bug. The fix is simple, see the patch on your ports tree: /usr/ports/print/texlive/texmf-minimal/patches/patch-texmf_dvips_config_config_ps (basically overwrite the old config.ps with the svn one) 4.2 packages for i386 and sparc64 here: http://students.dec.bmth.ac.uk/ebarrett/texlive/3rd/4.2 A good starting point for links to docs and examples for ConTeXt is: http://wiki.contextgarden.net Also my battery has died on my laptop (Thinkpad R50e), which I used to use for on the go TeXLive hackage. At the risk of sounding rude, can anyone make a donation or tell me to shut up atleast as I am not a developer with an @openbsd email address. Thats right, Im playing the student trumph card :) -- Best Regards Edd http://students.dec.bmth.ac.uk/ebarrett
