Yes - I've now got the arm distribution of !Tex up and running on my
Iyonix and with kind help have a tiny LaTeX script working. One actually
has to encode the script by hand though. If I go down this route I wave
goodbye to TechWriter, which would be a great shame.

I've been looking at the raw TeX output from TechWriter and matching it to
the equivalent from LaTeX. The LaTeX is beautiful in comparison.

I am thinking about writing a BBC BASIC translator.

However, I'm charging off down a couple of other avenues first...

Martin Hansen
