I am looking to purchase a microcomputer system for
scientific word processing, and would like some
information on what's available for the Atari ST.
What software exists for the Atari ST?
How about nroff/neqn type formatters?
I understand that TEX has been ported to the Atari ST.
Does anyone have the address of the company that
did the port?  Anyone used it; have any comments?

Here's the basic scenario:

I want to purchase a micro, a printer, and a word
processor, specifically to write a doctoral
dissertation and research papers in Astronomy.
The printer will be an inexpensive dot matrix type
for draft copies, e.g., a Toshiba 321.  Final
copies will be transfered to another system which
has an HP LaserJet printer.  Requirements for the
word processor are:

 1)It must handle equations and special symbols in
   a reasonable manner (I've got lots of equations).
 2)It must have drivers for a dot matrix printer,
   and also for the LaserJet with J (math) font
   cartridge.
 3)It should be able to route output to a file
   for later transfer to another computer.
 4)It should include a good spelling checker (this
   could, of course, be a seperate piece of software).

It would be very desirable to have:

 5)A grammar checker.
 6)Definable characters (Astronomers need some pretty
   special symbols).

Thank you for your time.
