Apologies for posting to the wrong list. I did a search for Tex on my mail box and found that most of the discussion on TeX was occurring here. I produce all work documentation using TeX, and also use TeX where others would use a Word processor such as Appleworks or page layout software. Thus I am not looking for anything special, just a simple TeX distribution that is easy to live with. As I see it, the choices are between TeXshop <URL: http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html > OzTeX <URL: http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex > iTexMac <URL: http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/monge/j.laurens/iTeXMac/ > If you hunt around, there is quite a bit of info about TeX and Mac OS X, probably because 1. theOS is based on unix and appeals to the scientific and technical communities, and 2. it is easy to do the display using PDF. <URL: http://www.rna.nl/tex.html > Ben P.S.
