I too am having trouble sorting thru all of this stuff, and they are huge
files -- therefore trail and error is a real *pain*.  

Anyways, I have recently been trying to figure out how I might be able to 
play around with TeX on my ST.  Will I be able to do this with only 1Meg?
Also, how much HD space?  Which archives do I need?

The main utilitarian reason I would like to get TeX working is so that I 
could print out the UniTerm docs.  Is there a "easy" way to print 
these out (I.E. a  utility that just prints and nothing else?)  Also I am
using a cheap old dot matrix printer (SG-10)..  

I think DVI is a TeX file previewer and MetaFont is a TeX font maker, is this
correct?  I haven't been able to get any of this stuff to run correctly yet..
