I posted a similar query a few months ago. The consensus was that
slitex is unneccessary, and that you can do as well with a slide
style in latex and have all the other nice features of latex (as
well as not bother with slitex.fmt, etc.). There are several nice
slides styles out there - I chose lslide.sty because it is simple
and worked for me (and I like the shadow boxes!). There are more
complicated packages (seminar) but lslide does the basics quite
nicely. Both lslide and seminar are at niord.
