What does TEX do? Someone replied to me that it converts Postscript
to dot matrix/inkjet graphics, but as I searched through ftp sites for
stuff, TeX seems to do more than just that!!!!

Can someone please inform me of all the functions and applications of TeX,
as well as how to use with other programs/applications (like word processors,
publishing,.....)

As long as I'm askin', what is LaTeX and other program that specifically use
TeX?

This may be a large order, but I appreciate the help.
