 I'm converting from word-processing under a DOS & Mac environment
to Unix. This is mainly due to the need for revision control,
and better administration of a large number of 100-200 page documents.

 Conversion of the old material would be useful, but more importantly
now, we'd like reccomendations / experiences on what might be needed
to offer a documentation preparation and printing environment on Unix.

 We have the following environment:

	1. SCO Unix 3.2v2
	2. X-windows/motif
	3. Postscript printers

Some combination of TeX, display preview using X, and print output
to the postscipt devices is needed.

Any suggestions on which TeX, print drivers, editor, and previewer is
available for this environment. If you have a successful installation
of any combination of these or other facilities, I'd be very pleased to
hear of them.

Thanks in advance,

 -Alex
