I don't know about the Macintosh version, but we are running TeX from Kellerman & Smith on our VAXes (under VMS), and the software is absolutely EXCELLENT!!! They have also been very helpful when we had questions about adapting it to our distributed printing environment, and when we wanted information about products still on their drawing board. They are also very quick with sending upgrades. Jacob Gore Northwestern Univ Comp Sci Research Lab ihnp4!nucsrl!gore

Ok, I think I can tell you some. THe first company listed (FTL Systems) has a version of TeX for the Macintosh which will be called "MacTeX" (this means that neither Kellerman & Smith nor anyone else will be calling theirs that). This is a full implimentation of TeX which passes the "TeX Torture Test". It comes with a built-in editor. I'll post more info as I get it.. -- I have no conection with FTL except that a friend of mine writes the software made there :-) -- "We're going to talk about something else now."
