Well, I haven't seen DirectTeX in person, but Textures is not too shabby. The most recent release has had a great deal of the inner loop optimised in 68000 assembly resulting in speed increases of 200% or more. On a Quadra they're claiming TeXbook processing at rates of about 40 pages per SECOND. That's slick. I have my doubts about the utility of "Flash mode", but some people like it. -dh
