My PhD thesis (1978) was written on a PDP-11/45 with 6th Edition Unix, using "em", formatted in Nroff and printed on a Diablo :-) Luckily for me, there were no formulae in it. > For the record, I never called texlive a word-processor; what > I did say was that it contained one. (That much was obvious just > from skimming the list of routines that got updated by dnf.) At the risk of being pedantic, it doesn't contain a word processor. It contains a document typesetting system. It has no user interface other than your favourite text editor (although various GUI-like things have been developed around it for those interested). Anyway, enough about that. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
