Dear xtem users,
after the tests of the beta-version of xtem version_4 this is now
the final release as version 4.16 of
"xtem", an X11-TeX-menu
which runs with the new Tcl/Tk/TclX (Tcl 7.4/Tk4.0) as well as with the
old version (Tcl7.3/Tk3.6) (yet we highly encourage you to switch to the
new Tcl/Tk/TclX release because of some desirable user interface
refinements introduced in this Tcl/Tk version).
Besides adapting xtem to the new Tcl/Tk we have done error corrections,
optimizations and new features, some of them are:
- file and directory selection in one menu, directory creation possible now,
- radiobuttons where possible,
- double mouse clicks in select boxes replaced by simple mouse clicks,
- improved error messages if errors are done in the setting file
printing.vst,
- creation of the TeXtool buttons in the main menu optional by choice of
the local administrator,
- last used size and position of the xtem windows can be saved,
- printer driver dvilj is added to the setting files.
The setting files from older versions of xtem may be kept unchanged
(mkcommand.vst excepted), thus switching from the older version (3.12) to the
new release will be done easily.
You will find all files on our file server:
http://ftp.lrw.uni-bremen.de/xtem/xtem_texmenu.html
or

ftp://ftp.lrw.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem/xtem_texmenu_ger.ps.gz
Here you may also find the sources Tcl (version7.4), Tk (4.0), TclX:
ftp://ftp.lrw.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tcl7.4p2.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.lrw.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tk4.0p2.tar.g
ftp://ftp.lrw.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tclX7.4a-p1.tar.gz
We have uploaded the new xtem version to the ALCATEL server and to
the CTAN Server ftp.dante.de into "incoming", so you also may get all the
material from
ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/code/xtem_*
and ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/xtem_texmenu/*
and the other CTAN servers soon.
For those who don't know xtem_TeXMenu up to now, we give a short overview:
xtem provides for a simple and comfortable graphical user interface to control
the following facilities:
- file and directory selection, directory creation,
- editor (vi, emacs, ...) including additional windows for the
LaTeX-syntax (using hypertext) and examples,
- TeX, LaTeX, ...,
- previewer (ghostview, xdvi, TkDvi, ...),
- printing (including comfortable printer selection, ...),
- syntax and spelling check,
- makeindex,
- bibtex,
- additional programs as required,
.
.
.
Online help is available for all the buttons and windows by simple mouse click.
xtem is written for Unix platforms and has been tested on many systems.
Thanks,
Roland Weibezahn
