TeX has been the text processing system of choice for many different computer
systems for at least a couple years now. It's particularly noted for its math
and special symbol handling capabilities, as well as its device independent
output format. The TeX DVI (DeVice Independent) file format is supported on a
large number of devices - dot matrix printers, laser printers, phototypesetters,
you name it. Oh, of course, drivers also exist to display DVI files on screen
for just about any popular computer you can find - PC, Mac, Sun, Apollo, etc...
(Atari ST, of course.)

By the way, Commontex 2.9 is now available on the him1 server. (Address is
35.1.1.43, user pc7, password guest.) Look for "ctex?.arc" There is a readme
in ctex-bin.arc that also describes the other arc files. All files in the
package originally announced by Jwahar Bammi are here, just a bit repackaged
to fit into ARC files instead of tar.
