This is, I am sure, a question that has been asked before.

I am in the position of being able to get either a Mac IIfx or a 
Sparcstation.  For personal reasons I prefer the Mac, but I am
also hopelessly addicted to LaTeX and Emacs used together on
Sun-4 workstations.

What versions of LaTeX are available, either commercial software
or public domain, for a Mac II?  Do they offer an editor that is
tailored to the LaTeX environment?  Do they offer a previewer?
Can the pool size of that brand of TeX be enlarged to allow very 
complicated pages to be composed?

I know that there is a package called OzTeX that is some sort of
LaTeX ported to the Mac.  It is available primarily in binary form,
though, and I am afraid that the pool size could not be increased 
with such a setup.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Turmon
