I'm trying to decide which TEX to get for an IBM PC/AT.  From what I 
understand, there is both PCTEX and MicroTEX on the market.  I'd like
to hear about experiences with either (such as ease of use, documentation,
speed, problems, bugs, etc.). If you have used both, let me know your
preference.  Please send your comments to: lls@mimsy.umd.edu

I have an AT with 512K. I would like to be able to use LATEX, and be
able to port my tex files to other machines/printers on a network with
no problems.  (Should be very simple, given that TEX is portable by
nature...)   

I will summarize the comments and comparisons later on this newsgroup.
Thanks,

- Lauren Smith
