    How well do the various microcomputer versions of TEX work with graphics ?

    I am about to buy some system to write a mathematics text (actually, two
solutions manuals for a calculus text).  I would like pages with plots to be
previewable and printable; cutting and pasting while working in a screen window
seems much nicer than using "\special" if that forces me to print things to see
how they fit.  I have heard a rumor that FTL's MacTEX can do this;
Addison-Wesley's (Kellerman & Smith's) MicroTEX will have a similar capability
in September.  Do either of the MS-DOS flavors of TEX allow this?  What about
the versions customized to Sun or Apollo workstations?
