- The Fish disk demo is an antique--Tom has released many, many updates since
- then. I believe the current version is AmigaTeX 3.1, and it is a very nice
- package, and very well supported. You should really contact Radical Eye for
- a more recent demo version if you want to see for yourself.

- I have not compared AmigaTeX to the PasTeX--I started using AmigaTeX long
- before PasTeX was available, and, as I've had no complaints, I've stuck
- with it.

- Printer drivers (for a wide range of printers) are extra cost options.
