Blue sky research in Portland,oregon makes a version of TeX/LaTex for the
macintosh called Textures which has been extended to include postscript
fonts, and also eps illustrations, etc. (sorry for the run-on sentence..)
You can do things like make illustrations in macdraw, illustrator, or
pure postscript and include them.  It also has (very nice!) on-screen preview
so you don't have to run to the printer while debugging your paper.

I've written several papers with it and am basically pleased, given
some reservations about TeX itself.  Also i noticed that the revised
Common Lisp Manual (Steele) (1000+ pages, multiple indices, etc.) was
produced with this product.  

Several years ago their number was 800/622/8398 and 503 222 9571
