	Personally, I think that's good.  I use TeX on our VAXen, but I'm 
using OzTeX on my Mac at home to write my dissertation.  I find that only 
having to deal with one interface is a good thing.  Also, Textures isn't 
(or at least *wasn't*) able to produce DVI files that I could transfer 
directly to my VAX - OzTeX is.

	The fact that OzTeX is free played no part in this decision - 
Textures is available to me at work.  I prefer OzTeX.  Your mileage will 
vary.
