        Albert Chin is working on porting TeX to the GS, but has had to go
through C source and ORCA/C as ORCA/Pascal cannot deal with arrays greater than
256K.  Many people seem to be looking forward to a TeX implementation, it is
the only way to do most Maths and Physical science documents.

Actually, there are some quite good technical word processors on the PC and the
MacIntosh.  Of course, people around here don't want to here stuff like that.
I personally prefer Quark XPress combined with Expressionist,  Lotus Manuscript,
and FrameMaker 2.1 over TeX and LaTeX any day.
Of course, that's my opion.  Since I doubt we'll see such programs on the GS,
TeX would be a reasonable substitute if it runs fast enough.
