Which is a lot less than Addison-Wesley sells their stuff for, from the A-W book on LaTeX : TeX + LaTeX + Previewer + PrinterDriver = $295 + $25 + $250 + $200 = $775. You can order it from Radical Eye Software, (that's Tom Rokicki whose email address is rokicki@polya.STANFORD.EDU) I don't have any financial affiliation with Tom, but I did buy a copy of TeX. You might consider showing it around your department. As soon as they figure out that an Amiga 2000 with TeX makes a nicer TeX workstation than a Sun they may just buy a bunch. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
