Our company is considering using TeX to produce our documents and so I have a number of questions. 1. Where can I get TeX and LaTeX ? 2. What are the latest versions ? 3. Where can I get drivers for an HP LaserJet series II ? 4. What TeX macros do people normally use when preparing documents ? Our machines here include Sun 3/80s Sun 3/150s running SunOS 4.0.3, and Convergent Technologies S/320s running CTIX 5.23 and CTIX 6.1. Thanks in advance, Paul Burry -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Paul Burry PHONE: (613)-596-9911 UUCP: ...!cognos!dy4!paul POST: Dy4 Systems Inc., 21 Fitzgerald Road, or ...!cognos!dy4!seu13!paul Nepean, Ontario, Canada K2H 9J4
