    Ugh...long technical words...LaTeX (not too technical that one ) and Ghostscript - what's that?

    How do you plan to convert LaTeX to images?

    GhostScript is a free PostScript interpreter.

    LaTeX produces DeVice Independent files (.DVI)

    These are passed through dvips, then through GhostScript which converts them to JPEG.

    Nifty, really

    Sounds good, just a bit much for this time of night. I'm going to get an early night tonight -- I'm off now

    Have fun with your LaTeX (figuratively speaking) !

    I would rather use the PHP GD library for image stuff..... nice and simple, and doesn't make me think about rubber

    Hi

    i'm British and increadibly tired

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    44-15 I think. Bit of a runaway score. It was all over by half time really, with some really great tries from Greenwood scored a great hat trick - those tries were immense.
