     Once  again,  I want to thank you all who have taken the time to reply
to my earlier question.   Your  suggestions  and  pointers  have  been very
valuable:

	  Mr. Alan Heyd (ia8@psuvm.psu.edu)
	  Mr. Robert Becker (robertb@bourbaki.mit.edu)
	  Mr. Dimitrios Filippou (filippou@binkley.cs.mcgill.ca)
	  Mr. Victor Eijkhout (eijkhout@cupid.cs.utk.edu)
	  Mr. Vasudevarao Nugala (vasu@slow.cs.usu.edu)
	  Mr. Nico Verwer (nico@cs.ruu.nl)

     To  summarize  all  of  your  suggestions (including the ealier ones),
"the" books to get are Donald Knuth's  "The  TeXBook"  and Leslie Lamport's
"LaTeX:  A  Document  Preparation System" for TeX and LaTeX,  respectively.
Other books that have received  high  praises  are  Arvind  Borde's "TeX by
Example",  Snow's "TeX for Beginners", and Paul W. Abrahams' "TeX  for  the
Impatient".   And,  as  some of you pointed out, there are literatures that
are  very  helpful  that  are   available  through  anonymous  ftp: Michael
Doob's "Gentle Introduction to TeX"  available at niord.shsu.edu and Daniel
M. Zirin's "TeX Made Easy" available at emx.utexas.edu.

     As for me, I will definitely buy  myself  Donald Knuth's "The TeXBook"
and Leslie Lamport's "LaTeX: A Document Preparation  System"  books, plus I
already  printed out the two literatures above (that are available  through
anonymous ftp).  I hope that should be enough to get me started.

     As you  might  have  guessed  by  now,  I  have  also  started reading
comp.text.tex  newsgroup,  so,  I  hope you do not mind seeing more  of  my
questions later.  (c8
