mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Martial Tarizzo <address@hidden>]

Hi,

I'm a basic user of TeXmacs too (physics teacher...)

In a previous message, chu-ching huang send to the list the link 
http://diffusion.cgu.edu.tw/ftp/Texmacs
to download tm_pstrick.tgz

Unfortunately, the plugin didn't work, at least for me...(Linux, Ubuntu
8.04.1 LTS)

I modified it, and now it (nearly) works, at least for me !

You will find in tm_pstricks.zip
-  a zip file, containing the plugin.
   Extract the pstrick_plugin.zip to $HOME/.TeXmacs/plugins
-  tstpst.pdf : what can be done
-  tstpst.tm : the tm file to make the pdf

Regards

MT

ps : there are still some tricky points in the 'bin' part of the plugin,
because it is a shell script. Using an higher level language (perl,
python, ...) can certainly eliminate most of them
