The current version (1.31) of TeX/Mathematica adapted for Mathematica 2.0 is available by anonymous ftp from chem.bu.edu (128.197.30.18) in directory /pub/tex-mathematica-2.0. It includes the latest version of David Jacobson's math.el, the Mathematica graphics prologue mma.pro-2.0 and related files concerned with graphics. There is also a new, improved installation by shell script tex-mma-install. [These files can also be found on the MathGroup server in pub/Packages/TEX-MMA. --smc] There are no functional changes to TeX/Mathematica, except that the font size in graphics is now controlled by the new Mathematica system variable $DefaultFont and there is now support for generation of compressed graphics files for use with psfix/TeX 1.8, controlled by the Matematica global variable PSTeXCompress. Note: This version does *not* work with Mathematica 1.2. TeX/Mathematica is a set of tools that provide facilities of Mathematica Notebooks in a UNIX environment, under GNU Emacs. They permit interaction between a text and a Mathematica buffer and, if desired, the use of TeX/LaTeX to annotate Mathematica-based explorations and programs. Inclusion of Mathematica-generated graphics in TeX/LaTeX documents printed using PostScript is supported. The tools also support the automatic generation of Mathematica packages from TeX/Mathematica documents, using a WEB-like notation. With these tools one can interactively develop and refine teaching and research documents. The interactive nature of the tools encourages Mathematica-based exploration as a natural part of the writing process. Comments, etc., always welcome. Thanks Dan Dill dan at chem.bu.edu
