I am informed that the best Macintosh TeX program is TeXtures by
Kellerman & Smith, available from:

      Addison Wesley
      6 Jacob Way
      Reading, MA 01867

      Marketing Agent: Janice Hughes

at a list price of $495, with many discounts available.
It is said to include a Mac previewer, and Computer Modern fonts
for screen, Imagewriter, and Laserwriter.  Although, the official
version is not available yet, it will be shortly, and the current
one is just fine.

Two supposedly inferior versions are: FTL TeX (described as "more
expensive, slower, and less convenient," without all the fonts
that TeXtures has), and MacTeX, about which I have no information
(aside from the fact that it is inferior).

My thanks to all those who replied to my original query.
