I have experience with PC TeX for MSDos machines, and AmigaTeX, for the
Amiga.  Overall, AmigaTeX is faster and smaller, the previewer is better,
and the hardware needed to get going is cheaper.
     
PCTeX is also quite good.  There is a review in the latest Info World.
     
I usually prefer to go with the future instead of the past, since it
tends to be more interesting.  More hazardous too, though.
     
Lemm know if you want more info.
