Hello,

I have made a complete TeX 3.0 distribution. Now I'm looking for
some guys who are firm with TeX and would linke to spend some time
for testing the programs.

The distribution consists of:

 - initex, virtex: compiled with Lattice-C 5.05, pure, small ARexx port.
 - ShowDVI: comfortable previewer, fast, ARexx port, ...
 - DVIprint: printer driver for NEC P6, HP-DeskJet and Epson FX 80
 - SpecialHost: utility to insert IFF-pictures into the TeX-text (with source).
 - Flib: Fontlibrary-program (with source).
 - ARexx scripts for the work with:  CED <-> (vir|ini)tex <-> ShowDVI
 - very good german documentation.   :-)
 - very short english documentation. :-(

If someone is interested:
 The whole distribution is at the ftp-server "abcfd01.larc.nasa.gov"
 directory: "/incoming/amiga"
 file: "PasTeX.lzh" (stands for 'Passauer TeX')

It would be _very_ nice, if someone who can speak german would
translate a little bit of the german docs.

Send all questions and bug reports to:
	hessmann@unipas.fmi.uni-passau.de

	Thanks,
	Georg.
