[Prosper-announce] Getting started with Prosper

[Virgil S. <vs...@sy...>]

First, I have looked over some of the documentation on Prosper and also
scanned the
archived messages.

I am a teacher and have been using the seminar package for many years in

my lectures. This has worked quite well; but, now that I have had a
glimpse
of Prosper I would like to convert to this package.

I am using the commercial package Y&YTeX on a Windows 2000 platform.
This has a a very good GUI and works quite well with the Seminar
package.
However, it has it's own DVI and Postscript processors --- DVIWindo and
DVIPSOne.

I mainly perform the following two tasks in generating lecture material:

  1) Overheads (transparencies) for my class lectures,
  2) PDF files (containing these transparencies) for posting on the Web.

Of  course the overheads are produced via the Seminar package and I use
Adobe Distiller (5.0) to generate PDF files from the Postscript files
produced
by DVIPSOne.

I would be very interested in knowing how I could accomplish this with
Prosper. Are there Prosper users running Y&YTeX?
