I want to second all the nice things Brian said about AmigaTeX.

I *do* use it on a 512K 2 floppy machine, and tho there are limitations
am quite happy.  It is true that you cannot run LaTeX, but those new
to TeX should know that TeX vs. LaTeX (a huge set of macros built on top
of Plain TeX)             that this is one of those religious issues---sort
of like C (==TeX) vs. Ada (==LaTeX).  8-) 8-) 8-)  I don't mean to start
a TeX war.  LaTeX is really pretty good.

One caveat.  I don't have the *latest* version of AmigaTeX.  Maybe it has
become a little bigger and doesn't fit on a 512 machine so well.  (I have
about 356K free when I run it, and that drops to about 17K during
the run.)
