In any case, try copying OZTeX via anonymous FTP from midway.uchicago.edu. I've found it's an excellant PD version of TeX/LaTeX (although it doesn't have as many fonts available as most minicomputer or mainframe sites). You can also get (read buy) MacTeX or TEXTURES commercially if you want to pay for a supported version. Textures is available from Blue Sky Research (they produce very good products) in Portland, Oregon (1-800-622-8398 or 1-503-222-9571) or from the TeX Users Group (1-401-751-1071). I can't at the moment find any information on MacTeX. Drivers for Apple LaserWriters and ImageWriters are included in all of these distributions, and all suport previewing of the documents. Give it a try!

[stuff deleted] If you know a mainframe site that has some TeX fonts you need, just copy them over to the Mac. OzTeX uses standard TeX font and font metric files. -- -- Jim Walker 76367.2271@compuserve.com walker@math.scarolina.edu
