I bought a TeX package that I am quite satisfied with; it includes
LaTeX and a previewer (priced separately), for viewing the .DVI files
on-screen (all necessary fonts are included).  The software runs fine
on our two 3000's under sr9.7.  
The company I got it from is:

ArborText Inc.
535 West William Street, Suite 300
Ann Arbor, MI 48103
(313) 996-3566

The TeX (including LaTeX) software cost me $225 and the previewer $375
in April 1987; these prices incorporated a 25% educational discount.
ArborText also sells laser drivers, but I just send the finished DVI
files over Ethernet to a local computer here that has its own drivers
and laser printer.

ArborText sent me a letter in January, announcing an upgrade to SR10.
