[comp.text.tex] Need advice re text processing on Suns and PC's

Peter Palffy--Muhoray (mpallfy@kentvm.kent.edu) is seeking advice
re text processing on Suns and PC's. He writes ... 

	Our old office word-processor has broken
	down. We have ordered 5 SPARC stations for the secretaries.
	I would like to go with a TeX based system, but only know PUBLISHER
	which is not the best for TeX file import/export.
	We need to be able to pass files (with equations, tables and
	possibly figures) between SUNs and PCs, and jointly work on
	documents. Do you have any advice?
	Perhaps straight TeX or LaTeX is the way to go, with a separate
	graphics program which makes postscript files which can be included.
	Can the whole document including figures then be previewed?
	I'd be grateful for any advice.
