This page explains exactly how to set up a very fine LaTeX/emacs/dvi-previewer and PDF-writing system on Windows with an absolute minimum of fuss. I just consulted it a month ago in setting up a new laptop. The instructions are simple, and flawless, as far as I can tell. In particular, it's possible to write PDF without paying Adobe. http://www.math.aau.dk/~dethlef/Tips/introduction.html The trouble of learning emacs and LaTeX is repaid many times over in mathematical writing. TeX itself is a miraculous piece of software that's well worth studying even if you never use it (!). So is emacs. Thane Plambeck http://www.plambeck.org/ehome.htm Chris Landauer wrote:
