MuTeX (aka MTeX) is a system developed for typesetting music. It only does
single-staff music and does not support grace notes and the like. It was
originally developed in Germany and the internal documentation is all in
German. The guide (Version 1.1) is about 40 pages long. If you make it
available for FTP, please contact Fran\c{c}ois Jalbert (jalbert@cs.ucb.ca).

[2] A list of TeX implementations for the Macintosh.
o Textures (no capital 'x' any more): This product is a bit
pricey (with LaTeX, it's around $750, I believe). But it's a
nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a
little to be desired, but with the growing availability of good
DA editors on the Mac, that's not as big of an issue as it used
to be. If you decide to buy it, get it from the TeX Users Group
so that they get the vendor royalty.
TeX Users Group
P.O. Box 9506
Providence, RI 02940-9506
Phone: 401-751-7760
The publisher's address is Kellerman & Smith, 534 SW Third Avenue,
Portland, OR 97204.
o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public
domain even). It comes with source, but it's a hand translation
of Modula 2, so that might not help all that much. The nice (or
not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files
directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats).
Available via anonymous ftp from:
midway.uchicago.edu in pub/sources/OzTeX.
watmsg.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.9) in pub/oztex.
x MacTeX: This *used* to be available. As near as anyone can
tell, the manufacturer, FTL, has disappeared from the face of
the earth. This version, if you can somehow manage to locate
it, was PostScript-specific and used outline versions of the CM
and LaTeX fonts which were available for an extra fee (only
math fonts were supplied by default).
Here are some addresses, if you want to try to hunt them down:
FTL Systems, 234 Eglinton Avenue East, Suite 205, Toronto, Ontario,
Canada M4P 1K5
allegedly, it is also distributed by
Personal TeX, Inc., 12 Madrona Avenue, Mill Valley, CA 94941.

[3] How to obtain TeX for the IBM PC.
The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon
Radel. His catalog which is currently 40pages long contains several
versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG
documents, etc. A catalog is available by sending an envelope which
can contain 10 sheets of 8.5x11 paper with adequate return postage or
$2.00 (US).
Contact: Jon Radel
Postal Address: P.O. Box 2276
Reston, VA 22090
Notes: Software is distributed on 5.25" 360K floppy disks. For floppies
sent with a return mailer, there is a charge of $1.50/floppy
U.S. orders, $2/floppy elsewhere. For orders where floppies
are supplied by Jon Radel, there is a charge of $5/floppy
for U.S., Mexican and Canadian orders, $6/floppy elsewhere.
Other sources are the ftp sites listed in part [1].
The following information was released on 1 Feb 1989:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DosMF has passed the TRAP test and is now part of the DosTeX distribution.
DosMF is distributed with the complete set of Computer Modern Metafont source
files as well as sources for the LaTeX fonts. As with the current version of
DosTeX, the size of the mem[] array is user-controllable and preloaded versions
may be created from inimf dumps. Other array sizes and constants are as
specified in METAFONT: The Program (except max_in_open, which has been raised
from 6 to 10). Performance is approximately 30 seconds per character when
generating the cmr10 font at 200 dpi on a 8 Mhz 1-ws AT clone.
MSDOS versions of GFtoDVI and GFtoPK are included as well. Online graphics
support is provided within DosMF for the Hercules card. Alternatively, the
DosTeX Hercules previewer may be used with the output of GFtoDVI. The default
local mode is for the Epson printer operating at 240h x 216v dpi. No provision
has been made to avoid name truncation under MSDOS (i.e., mfput.2602gf becomes
mfput.260). DosMF is probably no match for commercially available
implementations, but it should be just fine for people who do not use Metafont
that often or wish to learn how to design fonts with the language. The DosTeX
distribution occupies 7 360k floppy disks. If you receive it from the vendor,
a printed version of the installation/operation instructions is also included,
along with support by mail or telephone as needed.
To receive DosTeX, send a check or money order payable to Electronetics, Inc.
for US$75 (US$85 outside USA) with your name and address to:

Stephen McGrath (smg@eedsp.gatech.edu) has placed a rather complete collection
of TeX gizmos for MS-DOS on eedsp.gatech.edu (128.61.2.1) in the TeX directory.
Get the file "readme.tex" before starting.
It includes SBTeX from Wayne Sullivan, Nelson Beebe's dvi drivers, an
EGA/VGA/8514 screen previewer, a BibTeX 0.99 implementation from J. Demel and
Dimitri Vulis, macro and style packages, and a humongous number of cm and am
fonts. You will need at least 4MB for the TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX/AmsTeX/BibTeX/etc
stuff, and up to 30 MB to install and unpack all of the drivers and fonts. 13MB
is a realistic estimate for TeX, drivers, and CM fonts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And some comments on emTeX. The attribution on the following has been
lost, but I think it came from the author. It has been translated from
German by Chris Martin.
---
Advantages (no attempt at completeness)
Complete TeX/Metafont distribution, everything you need, including
.sty files, printer drivers and cmr .mf files (Zeichensaetze??).
Full size (64k mwords), even with small available memory as virtual
memory techniques are used. SB29TeX and MicroTex, for instance, allow
only as much memory for TeX as there is chkdsk memory available.
There is a BigTeX (262141 mwords)
Expanded memory is used when available.
Quick. Probably faster than its competitors---it has been compared with
SB28TeX, publicTeX (Dante), MicroTeX and PC-TeX 2.1
Comparatively error free. publicTeX's virtual memory doesn't work (at
least in the version at RUSMV1). Reliable, as it has been translated
by machine---(there really are people who have typed in TeX from the
book and hand converted it to C).
A fairly new TeX version (2.99). Version 2.993 (version 3.0 after two
months without an error) soon.
Umlauts and other accented and other national characters can be
translated into TeX if required.
Metafont is included.
Really good printer drivers for dot matrix printers (at present, Epson
RX-80, FX-80 LQ-800; NEC P6, P7; C.Itoh 8510a, Apple Imagewriter) and HP
LaserJet Plus. Unfortunately no PostScript driver yet. Dot matrix driver
which can be converted to (nearly) all dot matrix printers.
Very good screen previewer---uses gray scales to display pages in
reduced size display.
All the drivers can insert graphics in the text. Line graphics are also
possible.
All programs run under OS/2 in protected mode. emTeX is faster and
larger (memory) than OS2TeX.
Will work on networks (network aware?!)
Utility programs such as MakeIndex and texchk are supplied.
MFjob, a program to run Metafont in comfort, is included.
Very soon TeXCAD will be included in the software set, a program to
draw pictures on the screen which will be converted into picture
environment commands (I am negotiating with the author at present).
Errors are quickly corrected.
---------------------------
Disadvantages (no claim to completeness)
Quite a lot of disk space is needed as quite a lot of programs are
supplied.
No Postscript driver yet.
---------------------------
Summary of the comparison with other TeX versions:
MicroTeX slower, less memory available, not free.
PC-TeX: the only reasonable alternative but not free
MuTeX: not yet compared (appears to be not as good but I haven't been
told why). Not free.
DOSTeX not yet compared (apparently much slower)
publicTeX slower, not error free.
OS2TeX slower, less memory available, only OS/2
SB29TeX slower: to get the full 64k of TeX mwords you need to reduce the
space taken by DOS quite a lot.
TurboTeX: what's that?

[7] Converting whatever to TeX
The following summary was posted by mark@nuri.inria.fr (james mark) on
28 Aug 90:
A few weeks ago I posted a request for conversion programs that would
translate TeX or LaTeX documents to and/or from any other text or
desktop publishing format. Here is a summary of the responses I got.
All of the following programs are available by anonymous ftp. All of
them convert something else to TeX or LaTeX; apart from BibTeX (see
below), I received no information at all on conversions going the
other way (although prep.ai.mit.edu (128.52.14.14) is rumored to have
something called texinfo2troff, for those who are into texinfo).
troff
-----
TROFF-TO-LATEX.TAR-Z is available on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil
(26.2.0.74) in directory pd2:<unix-c.textproc>.
This program, written by Kamal Al-Yahya at Stanford, assists in the
translation of a troff document into LaTeX format. It recognizes most
-ms and -man macros, plus most eqn and some tbl preprocessor commands.
Anything fancier than that needs to be done by hand. Two style files
are provided. There is also a man page (which converts very well to
LaTeX :-). The program is copyrighted but free.
scribe
------
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74), in directory
pd2:<unix-c.textproc>, was reported to have a program called
scribe2latex, but I couldn't find it there. I have an old copy (which
I have been unable to test) if anyone is interested. It was written
by Van Jacobson of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
WordPerfect
-----------
wp2latex.zip is available on wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) in
directory mirrors/msdos/tex and on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74)
in directory pd1:<msdos.tex>.
This is a PC program written in Turbo Pascal by R. C. Houtepen at the
Eindhoven University in the Netherlands. It converts WordPerfect 5.0
documents to LaTeX. Pascal source is included. Users find it
"helpful" and "decent" in spite of some limitations. It gets high
marks for handling font changes. Limitations include no indices,
table of contents, margins or graphics. It also won't handle the new
features of WordPerfect 5.1, in particular the equation formatter.
The program is copyrighted but free.
Glenn Geers of the University of Sydney (glenn@extro.ucc.su.oz.au) is
translating wp2latex into C and adding some WordPerfect 5.1 features,
in particular its equation handling. This is an ongoing project; the
current C code is available by anonymous ftp from ymir.claremont.edu
(134.173.4.23) in directory [anonymous.tex.ibm_pc.front_ends.wp2latex].
It was also posted to alt.sources on 8 August 1990.
PC-Write
--------
pcwritex.arc is available on wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) in
directory mirrors/msdos/tex and on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74)
in directory pd1:<msdos.tex>.
This is a print driver for PC-Write that "prints" a PC-Write V2.71
document to a TeX-compatible disk file. It was written by Peter Flynn
at University College, Cork, Ireland. It is public domain. I've had
no comment from users.
RUNOFF
------
Peter Vanroose, of the University of Leuven, Belgium, has written a
RUNOFF-to-TeX conversion program in VMS Pascal. It is available from
comp.text archives (they do exist, don't they? The program was
submitted in December 1987) or from the author (peter@dit.lth.se); or,
for that matter, from me, since he sent me a copy.
REFER/Tib
---------
There are a few programs for converting bibliographic data between
BibTeX and REFER/Tib formats. They are available for anonymous ftp
from wheaties.ai.mit.edu (128.52.32.13) in directory
pub/refer-to-bibtex. In spite of the directory name, it also contains
a program (or rather a shell script) to convert BibTeX to REFER as
well. I have not tested any of these.
****************
In addition, a group at Ohio State University is working on a common
document format based on SGML. In theory any format could be
translated to or from this one. Also, Framemaker supposedly has
"import filters" to aid in the translation from alien formats
(presumably including TeX) to Framemaker; perhaps other desktop
publishing programs have similar things.
For those who are considering writing a conversion program, may I
suggest Microsoft Word to LaTeX, since this seems to be the most
frequently-asked unanswered question on this topic.
If anyone has further information, I'm always ready to update the
above list.

If you have a copy of the file pictex.dvi at your site, delete it now.
Printing of that file is a violation of international copyright law.
Funds from the sale of the PiCTeX manual are the only renumeration Michael
Wichura (author of the package) gets for his work, and by illegally copying
the manual, you not only deprive him of income he deserves, but also
decrease the possibility of his releasing future macro packages under terms
similar to those of PiCTeX.
Note also that numerous bugs have been found in the LaTeX parts.
As of 4 Oct 90, the most recent version is available only from ymir.
The bug fixes will be included on future disks shipped by TUG.

[1c] Mail servers for selected sites.
When using mail servers, bear several points in mind.
[a] Follow the instructions carefully. Each mail server
accepts a different dialect of commands. Make sure
you aren't following server X's instructions when sending
requests to server Y.
Mail servers are computer programs and ill-formed requests
tend to give mail server administrators migraine headaches.
(I know, I'm one such administrator.)
[b] Use mail servers only if you cannot obtain the files by
ftp or other means.
[c] Requesting large amounts of material via mail servers
is frowned upon by system administrators. Overuse of
mail servers may result in the shutdown of said server.
Bearing all that in mind, ...

[2] A list of TeX implementations for the Macintosh.
o Textures (no capital 'x' any more): Around $750 with LaTeX.
A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a
little to be desired, but with the growing availability of good
DA editors on the Mac, that's not as big of an issue as it used
to be. If you decide to buy it, get it from the TeX Users Group
so that they get the vendor royalty.
TeX Users Group
P.O. Box 9506
Providence, RI 02940-9506
Phone: 401-751-7760
The publisher is Blue Sky Research. Address *might* be
534 SW Third Avenue, Portland, OR 97204. (That's the address
of Kellerman & Smith, the previous publisher.)
o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public
domain even). It comes with source, but it's a hand translation
of Modula 2, so that might not help all that much. The nice (or
not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files
directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats).
Available via anonymous ftp from:
midway.uchicago.edu in pub/sources/OzTeX.
watmsg.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.9) in pub/oztex.
ymir.claremont.edu (goes without saying)
x MacTeX: FTL is officially defunct, and MacTeX is no longer available.
o CTeX: The web2c version ported to the Mac (under MPW).
Available from ymir and chicago(?).

[3] How to obtain TeX for the IBM PC.
The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon
Radel. His catalog which is currently 40 pages long contains several
versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG
documents, etc. A catalog is available by sending an envelope which
can contain 10 sheets of 8.5x11 paper with adequate return postage or
$2.00 (US).
Contact: Jon Radel
Postal Address: P.O. Box 2276
Reston, VA 22090
Notes: Software is distributed on 5.25" 360K floppy disks. For floppies
sent with a return mailer, there is a charge of $1.50/floppy
U.S. orders, $2/floppy elsewhere. For orders where floppies
are supplied by Jon Radel, there is a charge of $5/floppy
for U.S., Mexican and Canadian orders, $6/floppy elsewhere.
Other sources are the ftp sites listed in part [1].
The following information was released on 1 Feb 1989:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DosMF has passed the TRAP test and is now part of the DosTeX distribution.
DosMF is distributed with the complete set of Computer Modern Metafont source
files as well as sources for the LaTeX fonts. As with the current version of
DosTeX, the size of the mem[] array is user-controllable and preloaded versions
may be created from inimf dumps. Other array sizes and constants are as
specified in METAFONT: The Program (except max_in_open, which has been raised
from 6 to 10). Performance is approximately 30 seconds per character when
generating the cmr10 font at 200 dpi on a 8 Mhz 1-ws AT clone.
MSDOS versions of GFtoDVI and GFtoPK are included as well. Online graphics
support is provided within DosMF for the Hercules card. Alternatively, the
DosTeX Hercules previewer may be used with the output of GFtoDVI. The default
local mode is for the Epson printer operating at 240h x 216v dpi. No provision
has been made to avoid name truncation under MSDOS (i.e., mfput.2602gf becomes
mfput.260). DosMF is probably no match for commercially available
implementations, but it should be just fine for people who do not use Metafont
that often or wish to learn how to design fonts with the language. The DosTeX
distribution occupies 7 360k floppy disks. If you receive it from the vendor,
a printed version of the installation/operation instructions is also included,
along with support by mail or telephone as needed.
To receive DosTeX, send a check or money order payable to Electronetics, Inc.
for US$75 (US$85 outside USA) with your name and address to:

Stephen McGrath (smg@eedsp.gatech.edu) has placed a rather complete collection
of TeX gizmos for MS-DOS on eedsp.gatech.edu (128.61.2.1) in the TeX directory.
Get the file "readme.tex" before starting.
It includes SBTeX from Wayne Sullivan, Nelson Beebe's dvi drivers, an
EGA/VGA/8514 screen previewer, a BibTeX 0.99 implementation from J. Demel and
Dimitri Vulis, macro and style packages, and a humongous number of cm and am
fonts. You will need at least 4MB for the TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX/AmsTeX/BibTeX/etc
stuff, and up to 30 MB to install and unpack all of the drivers and fonts. 13MB
is a realistic estimate for TeX, drivers, and CM fonts.

[4] How to obtain TeX for UNIX boxes.
TeX for Unix is available from the University of Washington. It
is up-to-date (TeX 3.0, MF 2.0), contains detailed installation
instructions and support is available if you have problems. Money
from the distribution tapes goes towards funding the support
hotline and future Unix TeX development.

OzTeX is a free version TeX for the Macintosh. Version 1.3
corresponds to TeX 3.0, and can be configured in "large" versions
that can handle huge macro packages, e.g. LamsTeX.
OzTeX uses standard pk fonts and tfm filesand creates standard dvi files.
Includes a DVI previewer, and PostScript driver.
For rudimentary support and additional information, send mail to

The PicTeX manual is not available in electronic form (at least, not
legally). Manual can be obtained from TUG. Contact Tug@Math.AMS.com
for more information.
If you have a copy of the file pictex.dvi at your site, delete it now.
Printing of that file is a violation of international copyright law.
Funds from the sale of the PiCTeX manual are the only renumeration Michael
Wichura (author of the package) gets for his work, and by illegally copying
the manual, you not only deprive him of income he deserves, but also
decrease the possibility of his releasing future macro packages under terms
similar to those of PiCTeX.
Note also that numerous bugs have been found in the LaTeX parts.
As of 4 Oct 90, the most recent version is available only from ymir.
The bug fixes will be included on future disks shipped by TUG.

[1c] Mail servers for selected sites.
When using mail servers, bear several points in mind.
[a] Follow the instructions carefully. Each mail server
accepts a different dialect of commands. Make sure
you aren't following server X's instructions when sending
requests to server Y.
Mail servers are computer programs and ill-formed requests
tend to give mail server administrators migraine headaches.
(I know, I'm one such administrator.)
[b] Use mail servers only if you cannot obtain the files by
ftp or other means.
[c] Requesting large amounts of material via mail servers
is frowned upon by system administrators. Overuse of
mail servers may result in the shutdown of said server.

o Textures (no capital 'x' any more): Around $750 with LaTeX.
A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a
little to be desired, but with the growing availability of good
DA editors on the Mac, that's not as big of an issue as it used
to be. If you decide to buy it, get it from the TeX Users Group
so that they get the vendor royalty.

The publisher is Blue Sky Research. Address *might* be

of Kellerman & Smith, the previous publisher.)
o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public
domain even). It comes with source, and a web-to-modula2 program.
The nice (or not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files
directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats).
Another nice feature is that OzTeX creates dvi files directly.

[3] How to obtain TeX for the IBM PC.
The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon
Radel. His catalog which is currently 40 pages long contains several
versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG
documents, etc. A catalog is available by sending an envelope which
can contain 10 sheets of 8.5x11 paper with adequate return postage or
$2.00 (US).
Contact: Jon Radel
Postal Address: P.O. Box 2276

Notes: Software is distributed on 5.25" 360K floppy disks. For floppies
sent with a return mailer, there is a charge of $1.50/floppy
U.S. orders, $2/floppy elsewhere. For orders where floppies
are supplied by Jon Radel, there is a charge of $5/floppy
for U.S., Mexican and Canadian orders, $6/floppy elsewhere.
Other sources are the ftp sites listed in part [1].
The following information was released on 1 Feb 1989:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DosMF has passed the TRAP test and is now part of the DosTeX distribution.
DosMF is distributed with the complete set of Computer Modern Metafont source
files as well as sources for the LaTeX fonts. As with the current version of
DosTeX, the size of the mem[] array is user-controllable and preloaded versions
may be created from inimf dumps. Other array sizes and constants are as
specified in METAFONT: The Program (except max_in_open, which has been raised
from 6 to 10). Performance is approximately 30 seconds per character when
generating the cmr10 font at 200 dpi on a 8 Mhz 1-ws AT clone.
MSDOS versions of GFtoDVI and GFtoPK are included as well. Online graphics
support is provided within DosMF for the Hercules card. Alternatively, the
DosTeX Hercules previewer may be used with the output of GFtoDVI. The default
local mode is for the Epson printer operating at 240h x 216v dpi. No provision
has been made to avoid name truncation under MSDOS (i.e., mfput.2602gf becomes
mfput.260). DosMF is probably no match for commercially available
implementations, but it should be just fine for people who do not use Metafont
that often or wish to learn how to design fonts with the language. The DosTeX
distribution occupies 7 360k floppy disks. If you receive it from the vendor,
a printed version of the installation/operation instructions is also included,
along with support by mail or telephone as needed.
To receive DosTeX, send a check or money order payable to Electronetics, Inc.
for US$75 (US$85 outside USA) with your name and address to:

Stephen McGrath (smg@eedsp.gatech.edu) has placed a rather complete collection
of TeX gizmos for MS-DOS on eedsp.gatech.edu (128.61.2.1) in the TeX directory.
Get the file "readme.tex" before starting.
It includes SBTeX from Wayne Sullivan, Nelson Beebe's dvi drivers, an
EGA/VGA/8514 screen previewer, a BibTeX 0.99 implementation from J. Demel and
Dimitri Vulis, macro and style packages, and a humongous number of cm and am
fonts. You will need at least 4MB for the TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX/AmsTeX/BibTeX/etc
stuff, and up to 30 MB to install and unpack all of the drivers and fonts. 13MB
is a realistic estimate for TeX, drivers, and CM fonts.

[$\omega$] Acknowledgements
Thanks to all the people whose articles in comp.text.tex I've ruthlessly
excerpted. Opinions are those of the original authors (even though I've
lost many of the attributions), but if you want to blame me for them,
go ahead.
Thanks also to all the people who've sent me corrections, to the
authors of all the software, and to the many nameless administrators
which keep FTP sites up and running.
Special thanks to Edward Vielmetti for providing the raw material
for section [1b], as well as for moderating comp.archives, which
was another source of information.
Extra special thanks to Don Hosek, for gosh oh-so-many things.raymond@math.berkeley.edu (Raymond Chen) (01/18/91)

[1b] A list of ftp sites.
The original list is due to Ed Vielmetti (emv@math.lsa.umich.edu).
The information was originally sorted by site. It's now sorted by
product. I've also added information from other lists and articles.
Certain sites are labelled as follows:
[p] -- primary distribution point
[l] -- latest version resides here
[x] -- use of this site is disrecommended.
Newsgroups are also listed as "sites", meaning that the program in question
was posted to that newsgroup and should be available from any site that
archives those newsgroups.

The PicTeX manual is not available in electronic form (at least, not
legally). Manual can be obtained from TUG. Contact Tug@Math.AMS.com
for more information.
If you have a copy of the file pictex.dvi at your site, delete it now.
Printing of that file is a violation of international copyright law.
Funds from the sale of the PiCTeX manual are the only renumeration Michael
Wichura (author of the package) gets for his work, and by illegally copying
the manual, you not only deprive him of income he deserves, but also
decrease the possibility of his releasing future macro packages under terms
similar to those of PiCTeX.
Note also that numerous bugs have been found in the LaTeX parts.
As of 4 Oct 90, the most recent version is available only from ymir.
The bug fixes will be included on future disks shipped by TUG.

[1c] Mail servers for selected sites.
When using mail servers, bear several points in mind.
[a] Follow the instructions carefully. Each mail server
accepts a different dialect of commands. Make sure
you aren't following server X's instructions when sending
requests to server Y.
Mail servers are computer programs and ill-formed requests
tend to give mail server administrators migraine headaches.
(I know, I'm one such administrator.)
[b] Use mail servers only if you cannot obtain the files by
ftp or other means.
[c] Requesting large amounts of material via mail servers
is frowned upon by system administrators. Overuse of
mail servers may result in the shutdown of said server.
Bearing all that in mind, ...

[2] A list of TeX implementations for the Macintosh.
o Textures (no capital 'x' any more): Around $750 with LaTeX.
A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a
little to be desired, but with the growing availability of good
DA editors on the Mac, that's not as big of an issue as it used
to be. If you decide to buy it, get it from the TeX Users Group
so that they get the vendor royalty.
TeX Users Group
P.O. Box 9506
Providence, RI 02940-9506
Phone: 401-751-7760
The publisher is Blue Sky Research. Address *might* be
534 SW Third Avenue, Portland, OR 97204. (That's the address
of Kellerman & Smith, the previous publisher.)
o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public
domain even). It comes with source, and a web-to-modula2 program.
The nice (or not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files
directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats).
Another nice feature is that OzTeX creates dvi files directly.
Available via anonymous ftp from:
midway.uchicago.edu in pub/sources/OzTeX.
watmsg.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.9) in pub/oztex.
ymir.claremont.edu (goes without saying)
x MacTeX: FTL is officially defunct, and MacTeX is no longer available.
o CTeX: The web2c version ported to the Mac (under MPW).
Available from ymir and midway..

[3] How to obtain TeX for the IBM PC.
The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon
Radel. His catalog which is currently 40 pages long contains several
versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG
documents, etc. A catalog is available by sending an envelope which
can contain 10 sheets of 8.5x11 paper with adequate return postage or
$2.00 (US).
Contact: Jon Radel
Postal Address: P.O. Box 2276
Reston, VA 22090
Notes: Software is distributed on 5.25" 360K floppy disks. For floppies
sent with a return mailer, there is a charge of $1.50/floppy
U.S. orders, $2/floppy elsewhere. For orders where floppies
are supplied by Jon Radel, there is a charge of $5/floppy
for U.S., Mexican and Canadian orders, $6/floppy elsewhere.
Other sources are the ftp sites listed in part [1].
The following information was released on 1 Feb 1989:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DosMF has passed the TRAP test and is now part of the DosTeX distribution.
DosMF is distributed with the complete set of Computer Modern Metafont source
files as well as sources for the LaTeX fonts. As with the current version of
DosTeX, the size of the mem[] array is user-controllable and preloaded versions
may be created from inimf dumps. Other array sizes and constants are as
specified in METAFONT: The Program (except max_in_open, which has been raised
from 6 to 10). Performance is approximately 30 seconds per character when
generating the cmr10 font at 200 dpi on a 8 Mhz 1-ws AT clone.
MSDOS versions of GFtoDVI and GFtoPK are included as well. Online graphics
support is provided within DosMF for the Hercules card. Alternatively, the
DosTeX Hercules previewer may be used with the output of GFtoDVI. The default
local mode is for the Epson printer operating at 240h x 216v dpi. No provision
has been made to avoid name truncation under MSDOS (i.e., mfput.2602gf becomes
mfput.260). DosMF is probably no match for commercially available
implementations, but it should be just fine for people who do not use Metafont
that often or wish to learn how to design fonts with the language. The DosTeX
distribution occupies 7 360k floppy disks. If you receive it from the vendor,
a printed version of the installation/operation instructions is also included,
along with support by mail or telephone as needed.
To receive DosTeX, send a check or money order payable to Electronetics, Inc.
for US$75 (US$85 outside USA) with your name and address to:

Stephen McGrath (smg@eedsp.gatech.edu) has placed a rather complete collection
of TeX gizmos for MS-DOS on eedsp.gatech.edu (128.61.2.1) in the TeX directory.
Get the file "readme.tex" before starting.
It includes SBTeX from Wayne Sullivan, Nelson Beebe's dvi drivers, an
EGA/VGA/8514 screen previewer, a BibTeX 0.99 implementation from J. Demel and
Dimitri Vulis, macro and style packages, and a humongous number of cm and am
fonts. You will need at least 4MB for the TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX/AmsTeX/BibTeX/etc
stuff, and up to 30 MB to install and unpack all of the drivers and fonts. 13MB
is a realistic estimate for TeX, drivers, and CM fonts.

[4] How to obtain TeX for UNIX boxes.
TeX for Unix is available from the University of Washington. It
is up-to-date (TeX 3.0, MF 2.0), contains detailed installation
instructions and support is available if you have problems. Money
from the distribution tapes goes towards funding the support
hotline and future Unix TeX development.

The original list is due to Ed Vielmetti (emv@ox.com).
The information was originally sorted by site. It's now sorted by

Certain sites are labelled as follows:
[p] -- primary distribution point
[l] -- latest version resides here
[x] -- use of this site is disrecommended.
Newsgroups are also listed as "sites", meaning that the program in question
was posted to that newsgroup and should be available from any site that
archives those newsgroups.

The PicTeX manual is not available in electronic form (at least, not
legally). Manual can be obtained from TUG. Contact Tug@Math.AMS.com
for more information.
If you have a copy of the file pictex.dvi at your site, delete it now.
Printing of that file is a violation of international copyright law.
Funds from the sale of the PiCTeX manual are the only renumeration Michael
Wichura (author of the package) gets for his work, and by illegally copying
the manual, you not only deprive him of income he deserves, but also
decrease the possibility of his releasing future macro packages under terms
similar to those of PiCTeX.
Note also that numerous bugs have been found in the LaTeX parts.
As of 4 Oct 90, the most recent version is available only from ymir.
The bug fixes will be included on future disks shipped by TUG.

[1c] Mail servers for selected sites.
When using mail servers, bear several points in mind.
[a] Follow the instructions carefully. Each mail server
accepts a different dialect of commands. Make sure
you aren't following server X's instructions when sending
requests to server Y.
Mail servers are computer programs and ill-formed requests
tend to give mail server administrators migraine headaches.
(I know, I'm one such administrator.)
[b] Use mail servers only if you cannot obtain the files by
ftp or other means.
[c] Requesting large amounts of material via mail servers
is frowned upon by system administrators. Overuse of
mail servers may result in the shutdown of said server.
Bearing all that in mind, ...

[2] A list of TeX implementations for the Macintosh.
o Textures (lowercase 'x'):
Version 2.0 allegedly has many improvements over 1.2.
A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a
little to be desired, but with a good DA editors, that's not a big issue.
"Textures is a mature product, very stable, well supported. Has a
very good preview feature. At around $400 list, it is way too
expensive. However, many University bookstores have it for $125."

The publisher is Blue Sky Research,

o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public
domain even). It comes with source, and a web-to-modula2 program.
The nice (or not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files
directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats).
Another nice feature is that OzTeX creates dvi files directly.

[3] How to obtain TeX for the IBM PC.
The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon
Radel. His catalog which is currently 40 pages long contains several
versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG
documents, etc. A catalog is available by sending an envelope which
can contain 10 sheets of 8.5x11 paper with adequate return postage or
$2.00 (US).
Contact: Jon Radel
Postal Address: P.O. Box 2276
Reston, VA 22090
Notes: Software is distributed on 5.25" 360K and 1.2M floppy disks.
3.5" disks are available by prior arrangement. There is a
charge of $3.50/floppy in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico;
$4.00/floppy elsewhere.
Other sources are the ftp sites listed in part [1].
The following information was released on 1 Feb 1989:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DosMF has passed the TRAP test and is now part of the DosTeX distribution.
DosMF is distributed with the complete set of Computer Modern Metafont source
files as well as sources for the LaTeX fonts. As with the current version of
DosTeX, the size of the mem[] array is user-controllable and preloaded versions
may be created from inimf dumps. Other array sizes and constants are as
specified in METAFONT: The Program (except max_in_open, which has been raised
from 6 to 10). Performance is approximately 30 seconds per character when
generating the cmr10 font at 200 dpi on a 8 Mhz 1-ws AT clone.
MSDOS versions of GFtoDVI and GFtoPK are included as well. Online graphics
support is provided within DosMF for the Hercules card. Alternatively, the
DosTeX Hercules previewer may be used with the output of GFtoDVI. The default
local mode is for the Epson printer operating at 240h x 216v dpi. No provision
has been made to avoid name truncation under MSDOS (i.e., mfput.2602gf becomes
mfput.260). DosMF is probably no match for commercially available
implementations, but it should be just fine for people who do not use Metafont
that often or wish to learn how to design fonts with the language. The DosTeX
distribution occupies 7 360k floppy disks. If you receive it from the vendor,
a printed version of the installation/operation instructions is also included,
along with support by mail or telephone as needed.
To receive DosTeX, send a check or money order payable to Electronetics, Inc.
for US$75 (US$85 outside USA) with your name and address to:

Stephen McGrath (smg@eedsp.gatech.edu) has placed a rather complete collection
of TeX gizmos for MS-DOS on eedsp.gatech.edu (128.61.2.1) in the TeX directory.
Get the file "readme.tex" before starting.
It includes SBTeX from Wayne Sullivan, Nelson Beebe's dvi drivers, an
EGA/VGA/8514 screen previewer, a BibTeX 0.99 implementation from J. Demel and
Dimitri Vulis, macro and style packages, and a humongous number of cm and am
fonts. You will need at least 4MB for the TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX/AmsTeX/BibTeX/etc
stuff, and up to 30 MB to install and unpack all of the drivers and fonts. 13MB
is a realistic estimate for TeX, drivers, and CM fonts.

[4] How to obtain TeX for UNIX boxes.
TeX for Unix is available from the University of Washington. It

from the distribution tapes goes towards funding the support
hotline and future Unix TeX development.

[1b] A list of ftp sites.
The original list is due to Ed Vielmetti (emv@ox.com).
The information was originally sorted by site. It's now sorted by
product. I've also added information from other lists and articles.
Certain sites are labelled as follows:
[p] -- primary distribution point
[l] -- latest version resides here
[x] -- use of this site is disrecommended.
Newsgroups are also listed as "sites", meaning that the program in question
was posted to that newsgroup and should be available from any site that
archives those newsgroups.
lee@sq.sq.com (Liam R. E. Quin) maintains a master list of fonts,
selections of which are included below.

MuTeX (aka MTeX) is a system developed for typesetting music. It only does
single-staff music and does not support grace notes and the like. It was
originally developed in Germany and the internal documentation is all in
German. The guide (Version 1.1) is about 40 pages long. If you make it
available for FTP, please contact Fran\c{c}ois Jalbert (jalbert@cs.ubc.ca).

OzTeX is a free version TeX for the Macintosh. Version 1.3
corresponds to TeX 3.0, and can be configured in "large" versions
that can handle huge macro packages, e.g. LamsTeX.
OzTeX uses standard pk fonts and tfm filesand creates standard dvi files.
Includes a DVI previewer, and PostScript driver.
For rudimentary support and additional information, send mail to

The PicTeX manual is not available in electronic form (at least, not
legally). Manual can be obtained from TUG. Contact Tug@Math.AMS.com
for more information.
If you have a copy of the file pictex.dvi at your site, delete it now.
Printing of that file is a violation of international copyright law.
Funds from the sale of the PiCTeX manual are the only renumeration Michael
Wichura (author of the package) gets for his work, and by illegally copying
the manual, you not only deprive him of income he deserves, but also
decrease the possibility of his releasing future macro packages under terms
similar to those of PiCTeX.
Note also that numerous bugs have been found in the LaTeX parts.
As of 4 Oct 90, the most recent version is available only from ymir.
The bug fixes will be included on future disks shipped by TUG.

[1c] Mail servers for selected sites.
When using mail servers, bear several points in mind.
[a] Follow the instructions carefully. Each mail server
accepts a different dialect of commands. Make sure
you aren't following server X's instructions when sending
requests to server Y.
Mail servers are computer programs and ill-formed requests
tend to give mail server administrators migraine headaches.
(I know, I'm one such administrator.)
[b] Use mail servers only if you cannot obtain the files by
ftp or other means.
[c] Requesting large amounts of material via mail servers
is frowned upon by system administrators. Overuse of
mail servers may result in the shutdown of said server.

Version 2.0 allegedly has many improvements over 1.2.
A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a
little to be desired, but with a good DA editors, that's not a big issue.
"Textures is a mature product, very stable, well supported. Has a
very good preview feature. At around $400 list, it is way too
expensive. However, many University bookstores have it for $125."

o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public
domain even). It comes with source, and a web-to-modula2 program.
The nice (or not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files
directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats).
Another nice feature is that OzTeX creates dvi files directly.

[3] How to obtain TeX for the IBM PC.
The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon
Radel. His catalog which is currently 40 pages long contains several
versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG
documents, etc. A catalog is available by sending an envelope which
can contain 10 sheets of 8.5x11 paper with adequate return postage or
$2.00 (US).

Notes: Software is distributed on 5.25" 360K and 1.2M floppy disks.
3.5" disks are available by prior arrangement. There is a
charge of $3.50/floppy in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico;
$4.00/floppy elsewhere.
Other sources are the ftp sites listed in part [1].
The following information was released on 1 Feb 1989:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DosMF has passed the TRAP test and is now part of the DosTeX distribution.
DosMF is distributed with the complete set of Computer Modern Metafont source
files as well as sources for the LaTeX fonts. As with the current version of
DosTeX, the size of the mem[] array is user-controllable and preloaded versions
may be created from inimf dumps. Other array sizes and constants are as
specified in METAFONT: The Program (except max_in_open, which has been raised
from 6 to 10). Performance is approximately 30 seconds per character when
generating the cmr10 font at 200 dpi on a 8 Mhz 1-ws AT clone.
MSDOS versions of GFtoDVI and GFtoPK are included as well. Online graphics
support is provided within DosMF for the Hercules card. Alternatively, the
DosTeX Hercules previewer may be used with the output of GFtoDVI. The default
local mode is for the Epson printer operating at 240h x 216v dpi. No provision
has been made to avoid name truncation under MSDOS (i.e., mfput.2602gf becomes
mfput.260). DosMF is probably no match for commercially available
implementations, but it should be just fine for people who do not use Metafont
that often or wish to learn how to design fonts with the language. The DosTeX
distribution occupies 7 360k floppy disks. If you receive it from the vendor,
a printed version of the installation/operation instructions is also included,
along with support by mail or telephone as needed.
To receive DosTeX, send a check or money order payable to Electronetics, Inc.
for US$75 (US$85 outside USA) with your name and address to:

Stephen McGrath (smg@eedsp.gatech.edu) has placed a rather complete collection
of TeX gizmos for MS-DOS on eedsp.gatech.edu (128.61.2.1) in the TeX directory.
Get the file "readme.tex" before starting.
It includes SBTeX from Wayne Sullivan, Nelson Beebe's dvi drivers, an
EGA/VGA/8514 screen previewer, a BibTeX 0.99 implementation from J. Demel and
Dimitri Vulis, macro and style packages, and a humongous number of cm and am
fonts. You will need at least 4MB for the TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX/AmsTeX/BibTeX/etc
stuff, and up to 30 MB to install and unpack all of the drivers and fonts. 13MB
is a realistic estimate for TeX, drivers, and CM fonts.

Eliot Moss (moss@cs.umass.edu) reports:
Timings are on an 8MHz 80286 with a (relatively fast) 36Mb hard disk.
Time to process a 16 page LaTeX conference paper:
PCTeX 2.1 118 sec
sbTeX 3.1(c) sb34 107 sec
emTeX 3.0[3a] 97 sec (note: tex286.exe, not tex.exe)

[4] How to obtain TeX for UNIX boxes.
TeX for Unix is available from the University of Washington. It
is up-to-date (TeX 3.0, MF 2.0), contains detailed installation
instructions and support is available if you have problems. Money
from the distribution tapes goes towards funding the support
hotline and future Unix TeX development.

Thanks to all the people whose articles in comp.text.tex I've ruthlessly
excerpted. Opinions are those of the original authors (even though I've
lost many of the attributions), but if you want to blame me for them,
go ahead.
Thanks also to all the people who've sent me corrections, to the
authors of all the software, and to the many nameless administrators
which keep FTP sites up and running.
Special thanks to Edward Vielmetti (emv@ox.com) for providing the raw material
for section [1b], as well as for moderating comp.archives, which
was another source of information.
Extra special thanks to Don Hosek, for gosh oh-so-many things.jv@mh.nl (Johan Vromans) (04/03/91)
