We're running standard UNIX TeX 2.9--it compiled without a hitch.  For
previewing, we're using XTeX, but we have not been able to recompile it
under Motif, although our 4.1 runs OK.  We're running a locally hacked
version of 'psdvi' (off of the UNIX TeX distribution from a while back),
but we only use Adobe fonts, so you'll probably want to try the current
dvi2ps.

One thing I have to say for the AViiON is that it runs LaTeX like
greased lightning...
