Tomas Rokicki, author of AmigaTeX, was also one of the principal authors of Web2c, the program used to generate the C version of TeX run on most Unix machines. I don't believe any of the standard TeX distribution has a Radical Eye copyright (I seem to remember greping the source recently looking for any), but the latest version of dvips (one of the most commonly used dvi to postscript converters) does. -Dan Riley (riley@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu, cornell!batcomputer!riley) -Wilson Lab, Cornell University

It is fine for very small files, but I have found that it can't really handle documents over 8 pages, especially if you are a touch typist. I have a ~ 100 page file stored in excellence!, and if I want to insert or delete text at the beginning of that file, I can wait up to 2 minutes before my characters appear! Even after I got one of those CMI boards, I can still wait a minutes or more after I press return and before I can insert my text. I'd love it if it was faster. - steve
