What is WinShell ?


WinShell is a graphical user interface for easy working with LaTeX or TeX. 
It includes a text editor, different tool bars and user configuration
options. It is NOT a LaTeX system. An additional LaTeX package for Windows
is needed:

ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/systems/win32/

Other CTAN sites are:

ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk    (England)
ftp://ctan.tug.org     (USA)

The GSviewer for the PostScript files is also recommended:

If the Projectspace gets stuck or Dr. Watson shows up, please download the
latest runtime components from:

What does it cost ?

This software is supplied in a binary format ('as is') for free - the
source code is not available. In the TeX-Catalogue it will fall under the
category of 'nosource'.

There are many expenses I incur in maintaining the WinShell project that
may not be apparent, such as web hosting costs, and the costs of new
operating systems and software I have purchased specifically for writing
and testing WinShell. If you desire, you may send me donations of any
amount towards my efforts on keeping the WinShell project alive.

Although donations received are very much appreciated, those that do make
donations do not automatically receive preferential treatment over those
that don't.

Please contact me for further details.
