Can anyone comment on the the comparative utility of Tex
vx NROFF? I have used NROFF quite a bit and gotten
accustomed to its ways. I have taken a look at TeX and
realize that this would take another investment in time.
However NROFF does not exist for the AMIGA and TeX seems
to suit everyones typesetting needs. From one local guru
I hear TeX is particularly well suited for Mathematical
typesetting but NROFF is superior for most other applications.

What sayeth the NET?
