Hi Hugo Having recently written my thesis, I strongly recommend using LaTeX. I love troff, I always enjoy writing short papers (such as my IWP9 submissions) in troff, but I think I would have gone insane writing my thesis without LaTeX. BibTeX alone is a huge incentive for me. Plus, it's quite possible that your school may already have a sample LaTeX thesis for you to work from; in my case, we had a style definition file (.sty) to include in the thesis source, and then a sample document using it. KerTeX is pretty neat, so if you want to write your thesis on Plan 9 it's a good option. John
