1. Where can I get LaTeX for Windows?

At the TU/e we have composed a CD-ROM with a complete installation for LaTeX including the MiKTeX distribution, Ghostview and a Windows Editor (WinEdt, for which we have a limited TU/e license).
You can get a free copy of the MiKTeX CD-ROM from:

• Jan de Jong (HG 8.86)

You can also use the following network installation:  \\webmath1\miktex29\  (note that the version number may change in the future)

2. How can I run LaTeX on a Unix/Linux platform?

If you are a member of the department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and you have a linux system provided by BCF, you will find that LaTeX is installed. The installed packages and fonts are the same as in the Windows MiKTeX installation. However, if you should have a LaTeX file that compiles in the Windows MiKTeX distribution, but fails to compile in the Unix installation (or the other way around), please send this file along with some remarks to  marko@win.tue.nl .

If you are not a member of the department of mathematics and computer science or if you have installed your own linux system, please contact marko@win.tue.nl to obtain installation instructions for the TU/e packages (including TU/ePDFScreen and TU/e fonts) in linux.

For more information (e.g. about which editor and previewers to use) click the Linux button in the left menu of this page.

3. I have a problem with amstex and \Bbb

Following the instructions on page 218 of the LaTeX Companion to use the Blackboard bold alphabet, which is in the  amstex  package, it is to be expected that code like

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{amstex}
\begin{document}
The set of real numbers:
\[
\Bbb{R}
\]
\end{document}

is compiled without errors. But the LaTeX compiler gives two errors:

! Package amstex Error:  Package `amstex' is obsolete, substit
