We are considering getting an IBM 4216 or 4218 (whatever it's called)
Postscript printer.  We will be using this on an RT running AOS (4.3Unix).

We currently have a 3812 printer and use troff.  However, our ibm sponsored
project has some hardware money to spend.

We are considering the 421[68] because we want to start using TeX.

Now for the questions:

Does TeX available from wherever it is available support Postscript?
	(I pretty sure the answer is yes, but I better ask!)

Has anyone ported TeX to AOS?

Is the 421? a faithful Postscript printer?  (i.e. follows the postscript
language.)

What do I need to get from IBM besides the printer and cable?
	Fonts? Interface card? ...

Does IBM have a better Postscript printer?



Does anyone have TeX for the 3812 printer and AOS (IBM has it for AIX but
not AOS)?
