	Sorry this reply may be a little late. I somehow must have missed your
earlier posting. The Atari ST is now building up considerable support for
PostScript. A complete TeX system, including a previewer is available for
the ST . Also a object oriented draw pacakge called easy draw now supports
a postscript driver (this feature has just recently been released, it was
not there in earlier versions of easy draw). Both these pacakages retail for
less than $150 each. The ST itself with monitor and all is less than $1000,
so the combination price is a little hard to beat. Hope this leaves you a
little less disappointed.
