I am in search of two things, the first is a public domain version of
TEX. Perhaps there is a gnutex floating around out there. We are
currently using troff for our documentation preparation, etc. and have
heard that TEX is better.
Also, and more importantly, I am in need of a program/filter which will
translate PostScript(tm) to stuff appropriate for digesting by an
HP Laserjet printer.
If anyone has either/both of these items, please let me know via e-mail
and I can work with you in making arrangements to obtain it.
Thanks in advance,

There's TurboTEX, from the Austin Code Works, which distributes
various software packages, including many PD packages. $175. Is this
package any good? I'd appreciate comments.

If you decide to try it, get both dostex and sbtex, the former has all the .tex, .fmt and .sty files you will need Both supoort LaTeX and AMSTeX. For dvi -> HP or PostScript, use Nelson Beebe's drivers, available from science.utah.edu I can't comment on TurboTEX, I have no experience with it. Other people in the Department use PC-TeX.
