   My conclusion is:
   if you need just SOME printed text with NO demands on quality, no special
   formatting requirements, then just take the simplest text editor and print
   it as a plain ASCII file.
   If you want a pretty printout, use TeX. If the document is large, you can
   almost always find a faster printer somewhere and you can prepare a binary
   file if they don't have TeX installed (I do it because I don't have LaserJet).
   If you need a pretty printout but don't like TeX, then forget about WP and
   use PageMaker, Ventura, MS-WORD or a similar powerfull tool. But it will
   cost you money...

Did any one compare TeX with WP for windows ? It is a much more
capable word processor.

As far as I am concerned, I believe both editors have reasons to be.
For instance writing a text with lots of positioning on page (say a
play or a poeme) is usually easier in WP than in TeX because of the
wysiwyg effect.

On the other hand, papers, articles, and the like are much easier to
write in Tex than in Wp.
