[net.text] Where to get TeX for IBM PC's

jmsellens@watmath.UUCP (John M Sellens) (07/30/85)

Several people asked me where to get TeX for PC's.  (I had to wait to get
the address).

We are getting ours from
  Lance Carnes
  Personal TeX Inc.
  20 Sunnyside Avenue
  Mill Valley, CA 94941
  415-388-8853
  telex 275611
and he sells TeX for US$279 plus US$100 for the Epson driver for .DVI files.
Mr. Carnes has apparently offered us a terrific deal for multiple licences.
(Requires 640k(?))

Addison Wesley publishers also sells a version by David Fuchs called
MicroTeX - requires 512K.  Price is US$495 including some number of
drivers for various printers.  I have a print sample and it's very nice.
My blurb from AW says to see pg 27 of March TUGboat for an article.
Academic and quantity discounts available.
  Addison-Wesley Publishing Company
  Attn. Karl Bupp
  Educational and Professional Technologies Division
  Reading MA, 01867
  617-944-6795

I understand that there are other versions available from others.
