__NOTOC__
The computer program AmigaTeX is a port of Knuth's typesetting program TeX, which was originally written in WEB. To create AmigaTeX, that source was translated to C by Tomas Rokicki. This manual translation was necessary because of the lack of a suitable Pascal compiler for the Amiga computer. When development of AmigaTeX commenced, WEB depended on Pascal and Web2c was not yet an available alternative.
Features
AmigaTeX has several features not available in standard TeX:
