@ vixay - regarding Synergy: Can you disable / modify the common screensaver start/stop feature, so you have one or more screensavers running while you are working on one of the other screens at the same time?

40Hz: is LilyPond, by any chance, built ontop of TeX?

Yes it is. Good catch! :Thmbsup:
That gorgeous output quality is a dead giveaway isn't it?
(P.S. I checked the source code just to be sure.) ;D
f0dder:
Nice output quality yeah, but it was the syntax that tipped me off :). Does this mean that the program installs as many weird-ish programs "all over the place" and that it's pretty big? Or have they managed to condense and "self-contain" it? (I've used miktex on windows, and that felt... alien. Kinda like a unix program backported to windows ;) ;) ;) ).
cranioscopical:
Tom Rokicki's AmigaTeX was a nice implementation. I wish I could find something as nice for Windows. MiKTeX didn't seem as smooth but I did pour a lot of stuff through it. The commercial versions of TeX (at least those at which I've looked) seem to be a bit expensive. For most TeX stuff I've always found myself resorting to a lazy configuration of LaTeX, driven by a handful of external macros (which were a breeze to set up on the Amiga, using ARexx).
