US Mail: 	Radical Eye Software
		P.O. Box 2081
		Stanford, CA  94309

UseNet: 	rokicki@polya.Stanford.EDU

Price:	$200 for TeX/LaTeX/BibTeX/SliTeX/AmsTeX + fonts + Previewer
	$ 80 for MetaFONT
	$100 for printer driver set (for either Dot-Matrix or Laser)

Since I didn't feel like laying out the bucks for the printer drivers
(and since I have the public domain BEEBE drivers on the VAX), I
adopted the drivers to the amiga.  The drivers work reasonably well
(lots of seeks, though.  I gotta spend some more time cleaning it up).
I do have a driver for the C.Itoh ProWriter since I use it myself.

You need AT LEAST a meg to run LaTeX or MetaFONT.  I have 2.5 Meg
system so I run mg, TeX and the Previewer simultaneously.

If you do order it, make sure to ask for his (Tom's) version of mg.
It is ARexx compatible (and so is TeX).  Make sure to get ARExx too.

I'm very happy with AmiTeX.
