Actually, the appropriate place to ask the question would have been
comp.text.tex. In any case, try copying OZTeX via anonymous FTP from
midway.uchicago.edu. I've found it's an excellant PD version of TeX/LaTeX
(although it doesn't have as many fonts available as most minicomputer or
mainframe sites). You can also get (read buy) MacTeX or TEXTURES commercially
if you want to pay for a supported version. Textures is available from Blue Sky
Research (they produce very good products) in Portland, Oregon (1-800-622-8398
or 1-503-222-9571) or from the TeX Users Group (1-401-751-1071). I can't at the
moment find any information on MacTeX. Drivers for Apple LaserWriters and
ImageWriters are included in all of these distributions, and all suport
previewing of the documents. Give it a try!
