font-family:Arial'>While searching the web for <st1:State w:st="on">TeX</st1:State>
editors and shells—TSU has *nothing* that will process <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">TeX</st1:place></st1:State> files (which, as a structural and
biomechanical engineer, I love to use)—I came across the references to
TeX Live on the <a href="http://www.ams.org/tex/public-domain-tex.html#mac">http://www.ams.org/tex/public-domain-tex.html#mac</a>
. I’m intrigued, and next will track down how to get the CD.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the next edition of TeX Live (I’ve created styles for papers, classes in
advanced mechanics and finite element analysis, and newsletters, but nothing worthy
of the TeX Showcase), but I’ll gladly help to test it. (I’ve
previously beta tested several programs through a number of versions, including
Textures.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
