I'm working on such a beast.. I do have parts of the system runing..
Unfortunatly I do not have the memory to link such a hog.. If anybody has say
3M and a development system and would be willing to help me with this, write
to me.. I only(:-) have a filled up GSRam.. Even with Apple's new Linker I can
not do it.. So the only solution is to move up in memory.. Unfortunatly that
would also set me back about $500..
I have the dvi printer working, and testing that with a TeX system setup on
my favourite Unix system I get to have beutiful typeset documents.. 

I have tried to do some simple Math on a desktop system (Econ department
requires* homework to be typed...) and it totally sucks.. Looks like

somebody just came along and stuck it down anywhere.. 
So write to me if you are willing to help me with this..
