I'd hate someone to say this to me, but, if you can find the $$, ArborText
will send you a tape that with a postscript spooler and screen previewer
and misc other stuff. It took me about an hour to install. It would have
taken five minutes if I hadn't been overcautious.
We have Sun-2's, no 3's, now converting to 4's. LaTeX always seemed to me
to be a dog (in speed, not otherwise). It zips on the 4.
With Preview one can page around a 250 page document as fast as I can
with hardcopy.
(So then I spent hours and hours gathering, recompiling, etc our various
other goodies collected from rochester, score, ......that we need too.)
I hate not having source, but, if your employer values your time, pays
benefits etc., ArborText may be less expensive, as well as very good.
