Below is an alphabetical list of all the TeX-related software on the OzTeX CD.
Note that a location like "[Freeware/OS X]" means the software can be found
in the OS X subfolder inside the Freeware folder.
The first name gives a rough indication of the software's legal status
(freeware or shareware); the second name indicates the system requirements:
|
Carbon | = runs on OS 8/9/X
(but CarbonLib must be installed on OS 8/9). |
|
Classic | = runs on OS 8/9 (and maybe earlier)
but requires Classic on OS X. |
|
OS X | = runs only on OS X. |
For specific details you should of course read the documentation supplied
with the software, and don't forget to pay the requested fees for any of
the shareware programs you find useful.
