But TeXview drew inspiration from Textures on the Mac, isn't it?  
Textures, if I'm not mistaken, was a project launched by Addison- 
Wesley which finally was released independently, by Blue Sky Research  
(then Barry Smith and Doug Henderson) in 1986.

It was made easier by the fact the Mac was programmed in Pascal at the  
time, and Don Knuth's web, the language TeX was originally programmed  
in, was a dialect of Pascal.

I think I read a text mentioning this history somewhere, maybe by  
Nelson Beebe.
