I'm currently evaluating text preparation software, to reccommend
for use throughout our company. We use Unix, VMS, DOS and Mac
equipment.
TeX is running close to the top of our wish list for functionality,
is it available for the DOS systems, VMS or MAC?

Tex is available for all of the above. The VMS version is freeware, from C code available via anonymous ftp. Presumably you could port the code to your favorite PC, but you'd need a tremendous amount of RAM to compile it (especially for the printer drivers). Already-compiled versions are available commercially for MS-DOS, MAC's, amigas, and presumably other PC's as well. --Mark

How about all three, plus VM/CMS and Atari STs to boot. About anything that has a pascal or c compiler can run some variant of TeX.

DosTeX is known to be the best until now. The package contains TeX, LaTeX, AMS-TeX, MetaFont, Epson Printer Driver, Hercules Previewer. There are also various other freewares for TeX, like Laser Jet Driver, Fonts, BiBTeX, TeXIndex, Macros, Styles, etc. To get the above conveniently, you need to contact Electronetics, Inc c/o Gary Beidl <------- The implementor of DosTeX 119 Jackrabbit Run Round Rock, TX 78664 Or, Jon Radel P.O.
