There certainly does! And what more: it is considered to be one of the very
best (second after NeXT TeX, which comes from Radical Eye Software as well).

By using ARexx for interprocess-communication, you could easily construct
an extremely competent TeX-Workstation consisting of your favourite text editor,
TeX, the Previewer and even Metafont (automatically constructing fonts of
missing sizes!).

The price for everything and one printerdriver (c:a 20 disks!) is around
$300.

For more info, please contact Tom Rokicki (rokicki@neon.stanford.edu).

Yes, there is such a thing as TeX for the Amiga. Among other sources,
Amiga TeX (with Amiga Metafont) is available from the TeX Users Group for
$200; Amiga printer drivers for 24-pin NEC/Epson, 9-pin Epson, and Laser/
Postscript/Deskjet printers are available from the same source for $100.
TUG's phone number is (401) 751-7760. See, for example, the pink tear-out
order form near the back of TUGboat, Vol 11, No 2, June 1990.
