I haven't used CommonTeX, but I do own AmigaTeX from Radical Eye.  I also
use the Radical Eye NeXT TeX.  I would have to bet the code is nearly
identical.  Both of the Radical Eye TeXs work great.  I got hooked on 
AmigaTeX when writing this summer.  Running LaTeX on the Amiga with
2 Floppies and 3 MB RAM was sufficiently faster than the Departmental
machines that I did all of the work on the Amiga except printing.  
The previewer which is provided with Amiga TeX is what really makes it 
shine as a package.  AmigaTeX is well worth the $200 that I paid for it.

BTW, Didn't Marc Barrett say that there was a serious lack of serious
software for the Amiga?  Mr. Barrett have you used AmigaTeX?
