Greetings! I recently picked up STTEX and would like to start using it. I take
it that I need a mono monitor for this. I've been pricing them and the best
I've been able to do is $169.95 from some place in New York.
Is this a good price or does someone know of better one?

Also, I know there is a dvi-to-postscript program for tex/dvi on UNIX. Is there
such a thing on the ST? Is it possible to compile the UNIX source for this on
an ST?

On another subject, I just happened to catch a second or two of "Computer
Chronicles" last night. They mentioned Atari's Portfolio - mostly the basics 
like it has a QWERTY keyboard and the like. They did say that it had an 80X8
(or something by 8) display. The commentator also mentioned that another 
company was going to make a similar device later this year that would have
a 24 line display.

Thanx very much,
