Here are the examples. A standard install will almost certainly have TeX and LaTeX installed. To check, just type latex at the prompt. If it's there you'll get This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) ** or similar. When you do latex to a LaTeX source (.tex) file, it makes it into a .dvi file. The DVI viewer can view that. You can further process it with dvips to make a postscript file (.ps) and if you want with ps2pdf to make a .pdf file (acrobat reader format) Play with the examples I sent. I have better ones, but they're at home (I don't do much `A'-level maths teaching here at SuSE...) I hope you dont mind, but I'll forward this to the list also.

Dear Roger

I am re-sending the following reply to your message about LaTeX; my first effort was "bounced" back to me!

Re. LaTeX

I would love to see such examples and look forward to receiving them.

I have performed a "standard" installation on my old 486. Will LaTeX be there as a matter of routine and, if so, how do I get to it?

Is the DVI viewer in the KDE related to TeX in some way?

Thanks

Peter
