PostScript and LaTex/Tex files

[Bill Pardue]

So, after a number of replies, I think it's looking bleak on the 
postscript/LaTex front at the moment, at least as far as having 
helper apps that work well without the need to do file conversion 
offline.  Perhaps Tony Barry is right about the usefulness of Java 
applets, but that's yet to be seen.  Is it best to sit things out and 
wait for a solution--or should we be dropping hints to Adobe and the 
purveyors of all those LaTex/Tex-based e-journals that we'd really 
like to see some helper apps so library patrons can actually read and 
print their articles?
