[More support for NeXT-TeX and claims Textures is slow...]

NeXT-TeX is nice. It is not as intuitive as Textures not as easy to
install. Since we don't want to limit TeX to only the Unix wizards I
claim this is important.

You said Textures becomes slow after a few pages. This is simply not
true at all. I've seen 15->20 page mathematical articles going along at
a very reasonable pace. Continuos previewing may not be important to
the people here with a strong Unix bias. I claim it's important to
the rest of the world.

$495 is not a lot given what you get.
