ashim firstly, pls send txt mail if possible (i.e. turn off default html formatting).
secondly, pls do look up an excellent online tutorial on LaTeX developed wholly indigenously in trivendrum, by the india tex user group team. this is at http://www.tug.org.in/tutorials.html thirdly, as regards miktex etc- pls remember that TeX is the original program developed by D.E. Knuth in 1979 or so. this program can run on any number of platforms. LaTeX, revtex, auctex etc are all add-ons, or macros which make it easier to use TeX. some people wrongly think of LaTeX as being totally distinct from TeX. miktex, emtex, 4tex, teTeX etc are all implementations of TeX/LaTeX/revtex/auctex systems. these implementations are all platform dependent. miktex i believe works on NT/Win2k etc. emtex works on MSDOS and OS2. 4tex works on NT/Win/MSDOS. these implementations come with compiled binaries, and if GPL'ed, with source code also. there are also commercial implementations of TeX/LaTeX etc. some of these are Textures (for Mac) and Scientific Word (Win), and PCTeX. hope this helps. best, akr.
