In addition, Tom Rokicki has told me that with the new TeXview 3.0 (the  
one which will come wih NeXTstep 3.0 in, we hope, a few weeks) Derek's app  
can utilize the "reopen on same page" feature which has been added to  
TeXview, meaning loTeX can provide continous type/preview feedback on even  
multipage documents. i.e. itgoes a long way towards instituting a  
"Lightning TeXtures" application on the NeXT.  I suggest you check out  
this really nice (and free) application.
