Hi,

I would like to know what kind of software that helps technical writing
is available for DecStation 2100 or 3100?   For example, for TeX previewing,
whose program do you use?  "xdvi" or "texx"?   How fast is it?  
Especially compared to TeX previewing on NeXT.   Does the previewer show
Postscript graphics automatically as NeXT does?   Is a thesaurus program
available?  What type of drawing package do they use?

And finally, How much do they cost?   (I know TeX, xdvi, texx are free.)

	Thanks for the info in advance.

	Hugh
