Such is eTeX (Extended TeX), versions of which exist both for Unix and for Windows. \medskip Details and data pertaining to installation of eTeX on various systems are available from~~~~~ftp.cc.huji.ac.il/tex~~~~~ via ftp or via Netscape. \medskip In UNIX tex, you type ~~~~~for oldcode ~~~~~~~~~~ \tt\bs input heb\_macros ~~~~~for newcode ~~~~~~~~~~~~\tt\bs input heb\_macros\_newcode In DOS PC tex, you type ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \tt\bs input heb\_pc In the old latex (2.09) on UNIX, you typed ~~~~~for oldcode ~~~~~~~~~~\tt\bs documentstyle[hebrew,hebcal...]\lb style..\rb ~~~~~for newcode ~~~~~~~~~~\tt\bs documentstyle[hebrew\_newcode,hebcal\_newcode...]\lb style..\rb In the old latex (2.09) on DOS PC, you typed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\tt\bs documentstyle[hebrew\_p,hebcal\_p...]\lb style..\rb In the new latex (2e) you use the same keywords for all systems.
