+From the postings and mailings I have drawn the following conclusions:
+
+PasTeX is an implementation of TeX 3.0, done by Georg Hessmann. It is
+fully available via ftp, at
+   abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov [128.155.23.64] in "incoming/amiga/"
+It has a good previewer, and it supports ARexx and IFF format (b/w only).
+It is not as fast as AmigaTeX, but faster than eg. CommonTeX.
+It is not complete as is - you will have to get font- , pk- and format-files
+yourself - and it has only a small number of printer definitions: NEC P6/P7,
+Epson FX 80 and HP DeskJet.

Thought that anyone who didn't know it already might like to know that one
can get the source for all of the computer modern fonts (TeX's standard
fonts) at labrea.stanford.edu, the `official' TeX ftp site, via anonymous
ftp.  You can also find the new AMS-TeX 2.0 fonts there.  Then all one needs
is METAFONT (and a little cpu time to spare), and you're good to go.

+METAFONT 2.0 to the Amiga, which is now available by ftp at  
+      ftp.Informatik.rwth-aachen.de [192.35.229.9]

Well, there you are ;^)
