I am reminded that in the first book that I wrote using TeX, the text was edited at various times and places on at least five different computers (an Apple II, an IBM PC, an IBM mainframe, another mainframe or supermini at my collaborator's school and a mini of some sort by the editor and using no fewer than nine different editing programs. I just printed out for my wife a 150 page WordPerfect (v. 5.1) document on my laser printer and I was quite literally astonished at how poor it looked by comparison with what I print on the same printer using TeX. It basically looks like a very good typewriter. Michael Barr
