Hi listers,

About two weeks ago I announced the following:

I updated the program and fixed a few annoying limitations: you can now 
jump back and forth between full-screen and windowing mode. The 
help-file was updated, but if you've used the program before, you'll 
have to open the help manually (from the help menu, if that wasn't 
obvious...).

You can find this program on
	http://www.nat.vu.nl/~sneep/newsletter_answer.php?id=28

A direct link to the archive:
     http://www.nat.vu.nl/~sneep/support/LaTeX-tools-2.dmg

Limitations:
- Only uses the main screen for display.
- fancy page transitions are not supported. This may be a blessing ;-)
- Multimedia (quicktime movies, OpenGL, ...) not supported. This would 
require someone to roll their own pdf interpreter. I'm not the one for 
that job.
- Read the help-file for all options. The help is displayed at the first 
start-up and can be reached from the help menu. Please familiarize 
yourself with the program before using is in front of a group...

In the package you'll find some other tools as well: a colorselector and 
a ris2bib. Information is included in the dmg and on the page.

Please report typo's, bugs and solutions to me: sneep at nat.vu.nl

Take care,

Maarten Sneep
