Features of emtexgi 2.07 beta:

Emtexgi is a Windows graphical interface to emTeX and various
other Windows-based TeX programs for the PC. This version (2.07)
is the latest in a series of incremental updates to version 2.0, 
which offers several features beyond the previous general 
release, 1.04 beta.

Since version 2.0 I have designed the program with an eye to
the automatic integration of TeX components.  There is
therefore a full guide to the installation of an integrated TeX
system (install.txt), and a DOS batch file (emtex.bat) which
automates the process, assuming only that the user is willing
to assemble a collection of relevant zipfiles from Internet ftp
sites (which are fully specified as of the time of writing). 

Emtex.bat tailors installation to either Windows 3.1 or
Windows 95 (or NT).  Courtesy of Rainer Schnitker's rsxwin
3.10, long filenames are supported  under Windows 95 and NT.
The emtexgi.exe binary is supplied in both 16- and 32-bit
versions.  

By following install.txt, and using emtex.bat along with
emtexgi, you will get...

* Automatic building of TeX/LaTeX formats and Metafont bases.

* Automatic unpacking of the LaTeX2e tools package, if you
choose to download l2tools.zip.

* A choice of 600 dpi postscript or 1200 dpi (as with the
increasingly popular Lexmark Optra line of printers).

[Note: If you use a non-postscript printer you can print to
it from Dviwin, without using the dvips driver.]

* Automatic setup of the texcad drawing program, if you
download texcad.zip

* Automatic generation of missing fonts, based on both dviwin
and dvips.  

* Support for AMSTeX/AMSLaTeX, for the Babel multilingual
package for TeX, and for the LaTeX graphics package.

* Support for ispell, a TeX-aware spelling checker.

...plus various more obscure TeX-related utilites via emtexgi's
menus.
