<p><a id="id2931284" class="indexterm"
name="id2931284"></a>For the most part, using TeX on the
Macintosh is like using TeX on any other system. Certainly,
the TeX documents that you edit are the same, and the output
(on paper) is the same as the output from any other version
of TeX.</p>
<p>However, because they are immersed in a consistent
graphical environment, Macintosh tools have a substantially
different appearance from their non-graphical
counterparts.<sup>[<a id="id2931310" name="id2931310"
href="#ftn.id2931310">128</a>]</sup></p>
<p>There are four implementations of TeX available for the
Macintosh. Of these four, one is commercial, two are
shareware, and one is (mostly) free. The following sections
present an overview of each implementation, in alphabetical
order.</p>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a
id="sec.Excalibur"
name="sec.Excalibur"></a>CMacTeX</h2>
</div>
</div>
<p>The CMacTeX<a id="id2931194" class="indexterm"
name="id2931194"></a> package includes the most recent
versions of TeX and MetaFont and all of the standard tools.
A port of \dvips\index{dvips!for Macintosh} is also
included, as well as a <tt>DVI</tt> previewer and a
<b>PrintPS<a id="id2931222" class="indexterm"
name="id2931222"></a></b> tool for printing PostScript
files directly to a LaserWriter printer over AppleTalk.</p>
<p>Each utility is a straightforward port of its unix
counterpart. Command-line options have been replaced by
standard Mac dialog boxes and menus where appropriate. TeX
has been extended to include a built-in editor, although it
is not necessary to use that editor if you have another
favorite.</p>
<p>By design, CMacTeX is a very modular package. This makes
it easy to substitute different tools, or different ports
of the same tools, where it is advantageous to do so. For
example, you can use <b>MacGS<a id="id2931255"
class="indexterm" name="id2931255"></a></b><a
id="id2933708" class="indexterm" name="id2933708"></a> (a
Macintosh version of <b>Ghostscript</b>) as a previewer if
you like.</p>
<p>Small versions of TeX, iniTeX, MetaFont, and
<b>iniMF</b> are provided in the free distribution of
CMacTeX. Big versions are available only in a commercial
distribution purchased directly from the author. At the
time of this writing, the commercial distribution is
available on diskettes and via email. The commercial
version also provides fully automated font generation (see
“<a href="ch05.html#sec.autofont"
title="Automatic Font Generation by DVI Drivers">the
section called “Automatic Font Generation by DVI
Drivers”</a>” in Chapter <a
href="ch05.html"
title="Chapter 5. Fonts">Chapter 5</a>,
<span class="emphasis"><em><a href="ch05.html"
title="Chapter 5. Fonts">Chapter 5</a></em></span>)
and faster versions of TeX and MetaFont.</p>
<p>The configuration files<a id="id2933780"
class="indexterm" name="id2933780"></a> used by CMacTeX
resemble the environment variables used by implementations
of TeX on other systems. You can set up multiple search
folders for input files and fonts, for example, by
providing a list of folder names separated by colons.</p>
<p>Table <a href="ch15.html#tab.mac.cmacdist"
title="Table 15.1. Summary of the \protect\cmactex Distribution at CTAN">
Table 15.1</a> summarizes the CMacTeX version 2.1
distribution available on the CTAN archives (in
<tt>systems/mac/cmactex</tt>) as of July, 1993. The
top-level folders and their contents are presented, not a
list of the archive files that form the distribution.</p>

<p>The installation instructions for CMacTeX are easy to
understand, but you will have to configure CMacTeX before
you try to use it. Unfortunately, the default configuration
files do not reflect the layout of folders that results
directly from unpacking the archive files.</p>
<p>CMacTeX includes a prebuilt format file for Plain TeX,
but if you want to use LaTeX, you will have to build the
format file with iniTeX first.</p>

<p>OzTeX<a id="id2934185" class="indexterm"
name="id2934185"></a> is a complete TeX package that
includes an integrated <tt>DVI</tt> previewer. OzTeX can
print TeX <tt>DVI</tt> files directly to any printer
selected by the <b>Chooser<a id="id2934223"
class="indexterm" name="id2934223"></a></b>. Because OzTeX
does not include MetaFont, you may need to get from some
other source <tt>PK</tt> files at a resolution appropiate
for your printer. The standard OzTeX distribution includes
a complete set of <tt>PK</tt> files<a id="id2934253"
class="indexterm" name="id2934253"></a> for 300dpi and
360dpi printers.</p>
<p>A default configuration file and a selection of
specialized configuration files for different printers and
environments are provided with OzTeX. The distinction
between big and small implementations of TeX has been
replaced by configurable memory limits<a id="id2934277"
class="indexterm" name="id2934277"></a>. With enough RAM
and appropriate configuration, you should be able to get
OzTeX to process any TeX file you give it.</p>
<p>OzTeX includes a simple text editor called
<b>$\Sigma$Edit<a id="id2934309" class="indexterm"
name="id2934309"></a></b>, but you can replace it with any
editor you choose. Table <a

</div>
</div>
<p><b>Textures<a id="id2934631" class="indexterm"
name="id2934631"></a></b> is a commercial implementation of
TeX from Blue Sky Research<a id="id2934639"
class="indexterm" name="id2934639"></a>. It has a number of
features that make it unique in the TeX market. It is
supported by a complete user's guide and access to
telephone and email product support.</p>
<p>Textures supports an interactive preview mode called
<span class="emphasis"><em>Lightning</em></span> Textures<a
id="id2934662" class="indexterm" name="id2934662"></a><a
id="id2934669" class="indexterm" name="id2934669"></a>. It
is this feature that really sets Textures apart from other
implementations. In this mode, changes to your document are
reflected immediately in the preview window. In an
environment with sufficient resources (memory and
processing speed), the result is striking. Constructing
complex items like tables and mathematical formulae is much
easier, especially for the TeX novice, than using the
conventional edit, TeX, preview, debug cycle. Because the
log file is also visible, it's easy to see when you've
written erroneous TeX code.</p>
<p>Note that <span class="emphasis"><em>Lightning
Textures</em></span> is not really a WYSIWYG environment
(like <b>Scientific Word</b>, for example) because you
still enter regular TeX commands in a purely textual
fashion. You get immediate feedback in a different
window.</p>
<p>Textures is fast. Extensive instrumentation and
hand-tuning of the program has produced an executable that
is several (maybe many) times faster than other TeX
executables on similar hardware.</p>
<p>A complete set of Computer Modern Roman fonts is
provided in Adobe Type 1 format. This means that any
font can be rendered at any size without loss of quality.
PostScript versions of the \AmS-fonts are also available.
The fonts can be purchased separately in either Macintosh
or Adobe <tt>PFB</tt> formats.</p>
<p>Textures is a very integrated environment. This can
hardly be labelled a disadvantage considering how well it
works, but it does mean that some extra effort is required
if you want access to your document in a less integrated
fashion. Using another editor to compose your document is
possible, but it prevents you from using <span
class="emphasis"><em>Lighting</em></span> Textures.
Starting with version 1.6, the Textures editor includes a
macro programming language, so you can customize it with
features that you find useful. Blue Sky Research provides
the tools you need to incorporate other fonts into TeX or
extract TeX files (like <tt>DVI</tt> files) that are
normally hidden from view by Textures.</p>

title="Figure 15.1. Editing, previewing, and typesetting in Textures">
Figure 15.1</a> shows an example of a Textures
session. The preview quality in this image is less than
optimal because the Macintosh that Textures is running on
does not have Adobe Type Manager.</p>

<p>Because the Computer Modern Roman fonts are included in
Adobe Type 1 format, MetaFont is not provided in the
Textures package. Recently, BSR made their version of
MetaFont freely available. BSR's MetaFont was designed to
work with Textures, and creates output files that are
suitable for Textures, but not necessarily the standard
<tt>GF</tt> and <tt>TFM</tt> files you might expect. Those
files can be obtained elsewhere, of course.</p>
<p>The Textures package includes implementations of many
auxiliary TeX programs including BibTeX<a id="id2934846"
class="indexterm" name="id2934846"></a>, <b>MakeIndex<a
id="id2934864" class="indexterm" name="id2934864"></a></b>,

called “CMacTeX”</a>” section later in
this chapter), a <b>DVITool<a id="id2934906"
class="indexterm" name="id2934906"></a></b> for importing
and exporting <tt>DVI</tt> files, and font tools for
importing and exporting fonts. (Because Textures doesn't
use <tt>PK</tt> files directly, the standard \mfware tools
are not provided.) The Textures font tools are freely
available from Blue Sky Research; see the “<a
href="ch15.html#sec.bsrtools" title="BSR Font Tools">the
section called “BSR Font Tools”</a>”
section later in this chapter. Textures also supports
virtual fonts.</p>
<p>Textures includes the Eplain<a id="id2934956"
class="indexterm" name="id2934956"></a> and Midnight<a
id="id2934964" class="indexterm" name="id2934964"></a>
macro packages in addition to Plain TeX and LaTeX. iniTeX
is built into Textures, so you can make additional format
files as described in Chapter <a href="ch04.html"
title="Chapter 4. Macro Packages">Chapter 4</a>,
<span class="emphasis"><em><a href="ch04.html"
title="Chapter 4. Macro Packages">Chapter 4</a></em></span>.
Making format files with Textures requires a Macintosh Plus
or other system with at least 1Mb of memory.</p>
<p>The Textures previewer and printing operations
understand bitmap or scalable (EPSF) pictures inserted into
your document with \special commands. Although not visible
on the previewer, raw PostScript can also be inserted for
documents printed on PostScript devices.</p>
