  There are 2 PC-based TeX packages that I know of: PC-TeX, from 
  Personal TeX, Inc., and MicroTeX, from Addison-Wesley.  Here are
  the addresses and phones (as best I can determine...)

	Personal TeX, Inc.
	12 Madrona Ave.
	Mill Valley, CA 94941
	(415) 388-8865

	Addison-Wesley Publishing Co.
	Reading, MA 01867
	(617)944-3700

 
'Round here, we use PC-TeX.  As far as I can tell, it's a full version of
TeX.  One nice thing about Personal TeX, Inc. is that they carry various
products from other suppliers, such as previewers (from two companies)
and printer drivers (from several companies).  This means their catalog
gives you lots to choose from.
