[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga vs. Mac II

mcohen@nrtc.northrop.com (Marty Cohen) (10/13/88)

We have been using a Mac II with large (1024x768) color screen for
preparing documents and presentations where I work. The principle
tools are Textures for TeX and LaTex, and Cricket Draw and Freehand
for drawings. 

We are considering getting more of these, and I have proposed
Amigas instead, citing price, capability, and other nice words.
To convince management, I need to show capability and interchangability.

I am therefore asking your help. I need information (:-) about
what packages on the Amiga can provide similar (though not
necessarily identical) functionality to those described above.

Another condition that must hold for Amigas to be bought is that
documents and drawings must be interchangable. A drawing made
on one machine must be able to be moved to the other without
losing information. Can this be done?

I will summarize answers to the net.

Thanks much,
