There are three implementations that I am aware of:
 - TeXtures by Blue Sky Research (about $300.-)
 - MacTeX by FTL Systems (about $500.-)
 - OzTeX by Andrew Trevorrow (free)
For a review of the first two see the April 88 issue of MacUser. The
public domain version works O.K., but it prints only on PostScript
compatible printers (Apple LaserWriters, and the like).

In order to use any of them, some knowledge of TeX is indispensable. I
recommend "The TeXBook" by Knuth, or the ""LaTeX Manual" by Lamport,
both Addison Wesley.
