[reasonable response to the latest rumours]

Since there seems to be a new rash of rumours about to begin, perhaps 
someone could comment on the following:

(1) Where is TeX for the GS?
(2) How can I get hold of HyperMover? I've finally been able to order
    HCGS.
(3) Where can one find some utility to deal with the various digitized
    and midi'd sound formats? By dealing, I mean converting.
(4) Where can one find a vt100 terminal program which acts as a "shell"
    from within which one could invoke kermit, for example?
(5) Is anyone writing a tektronics' terminal for the GS. If not, then
    how about a utility to allow one to view different graphics'
    formats? I'm not referring to PICT, GIF,etc...and other formats, but
    things like HPGL, Postscript,etc...It doesn't have to be done on the
    fly, but an application would do( much like a TeX previewer).

(6) Finally, there are many adventure games for the GS, and they are often
    very difficult. By using a variety of solutions to a game, it might
    be possible to alter a game's difficulty. Thus, one could set the
    level of difficulty of the game from easy to hard. I don't know why
    people don't include such a scheme in their games. It would be much
    like being able to set the number of pieces in a puzzle to suit the
    person. Can this be done?
