CMacTeX is an integrated suite of programs for implementing TeX on Macintosh OS X. CMacTeX can be configured to work in an integrated fashion with the popular Macintosh editors BBEdit, TextWrangler and Alpha. It is compatible with the version of TeX found on most Unix systems and can even interpret any Unix directory paths that may be embedded in documents originally written on a Unix system.
|
CMacTeX contains pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.9-2.2 which produces either dvi output or PDF output. Bibliographies can be constructed with bibtex and indices can be created with makeindex. |
|
Metafont 2.718281 can be called automatically by other programs in CMacTeX to generate pk font files. |
|
Dvips 5.97 converts the dvi files produced by TeX into Postscript documents. Dvips supports the partial downloading of postscript fonts. |
|
Dvi files can be previewed with macdvi. It can display certain types of included eps graphics and has full support for color. |
|
Postscript is fully supported in CMacTeX. MacGhostView is a Postscript previewer built upon ghostscript 7.05. Unlike ghostscript, macghostview allows the user to view the pages of a Postscript document in any order. Macps2pdf is a Postscript converter and Metapost can be used for the construction of Postscript figures. Several utilities are provided for manipulating postscript files and fonts. |
|
Utilities for manipulating dvi files and font files are also included. |
|
CMacTeX handles text files with Macintosh, Unix, and DOS line endings. |
|
A 24 page User's Guide is included in PDF format. |
