Many thanks to Don Hosek for collecting the information on free & cheap TeX's for MS-DOS!!! (Note: you could have also mentioned that some, but not all, of them claim to run under OS/2---I'm about to see how well I can make emTeX run under OS/2 on a 3COM network and will report the results. :) By the way, I've been cringing for the last few weeks at Don's .sig: >Don Hosek TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont support, consulting >dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu installation and production work. >dhosek@ymir.bitnet Free Estimates. >uunet!jarthur!ymir Phone: 714-625-0147 > finger dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu for more info but didn't say anything... But the following quote really jarred me: > ... (note: >do _not_ send the query directly to me or I'll respond with a >polite note indicating that I cannot respond to direct inquiries >unless they're paid for.) Don, let me emphasize that I (and, I'm sure, everyone else who reads comp.text.tex) really appreciates your patience in answering everyone's questions, and if we criticize you, it's for your your benefit. :) In this case I think you're overstepping the bounds of acceptable use of Usenet. You should not post unsolicited promotional materials for your consulting services. Dimitri Vulis
