The public domain version works O.K., but it prints only on PostScript compatible printers (Apple LaserWriters, and the like). In order to use any of them, some knowledge of TeX is indispensable. I recommend "The TeXBook" by Knuth, or the ""LaTeX Manual" by Lamport, both Addison Wesley. Edgar (knapp@cs.utexas.edu)
