TeXmenu SUMMARY:

TeXmenu  provides a  unified  NeXTSTEP front  end  for Donald  Knuth's  famous
typesetting  system TeX. TeXmenu  integrates all the  tools needed to  use TeX
in one application, i.e. you are no longer forced to handle various tools like
the  editor, the previewer, utilities  such as spell checkers,  and TeX itself
from  different applications.  TeXmenu offers  a powerful  project management,
including  structure recognition,  file  handling  and  project  search,  thus
providing a convenient way of handling larger multi-file documents. TeXmenu is
designed  as an ``open'' application,  i.e. it does not  depend on any version
specific  features of  TeX,  viewers,  editors  (and friends)  and  is  widely
customizable.  TeXmenu offers services so  the user can keep  in touch with it
from  any other  application, get  help  on LaTeX,  translate his/her  current
project,  any file  or  even  screen  selections.  When  running  TeX  in  the
background  TeXmenu alerts  the  user  when  an  error  occurs  and  offers  a
convenient way to jump between the error message and location of the error, as
well as letting the user continue the translation afterwards!

Distribution   is  done  shareware-like  (i.e.  you  are  allowed  to  copy  a
unregistered version provided you're running it in demo-mode) but TeXmenu will
have some annoying ``features'' until you register your copy of it. Similarly,
TeXmenu  comes ``shareware priced''. For  those who want a  good TeX front end
without  paying anything  for it,  TeXmenu version  2.2 (black  hardware only)
remains in the public domain (although ``donations'' are still accepted).


LIST OF SOME NEW FEATURES IN TeXmenu 4.1:

     o  Multi architecture binary, both Motorola and Intel architectures
        are supported.

     o  Added page numbers to the Watcher's output making it easy to find
        over/underfull boxes in TeX's output.

     o  Several bug fixes.

     o  Template Inspector. Edit your templates from within TeXmenu.
        Each template may now have a default Project Group and a default
	folder. This means extremely convenient creation of new projects!

     o  Files included using \verbatimfile are recognized.


TeXmenu PRICING:

        TeXmenu 4.1 is a free update for all registered TeXmenu 3.x and
        4.0 users!

        Individual 4.1 license:               US$ 50 / DM 60

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT (BLACK&WHITE):

        NeXTSTEP for Intel Processors is supported in this release. Further
