Murray -- I'll bet the happy people on the newwsgroup comp.text.tex can fix you up. They do as much or more LaTeX than TeX. Also, did you check the ctan archives on the TUG website?

YAY. Seriously? I mean doesn't ps2pdf creates bitmapped text font for you thus rendering the PDF file almost unreadable?
