I have some questions on TeX/LaTeX that I would be grateful for
some information on:

   o  Can TeX produce vertical text? ie text lines rotated by
	  90 degrees from the horizontal. Can this text be freely
	  mixed with normal horizontal text?

   o  Do phototypesetters understand DVI or does the DVI need
	  translation?

   o  What translators exist for DVI (I only know of 'Transcript'
	  for DVI to PostScript translation)?

   o  Where can TeX be obtained (both in general and for Apollo
	  systems in particular)?

   o  What is the status of TeX and LaTeX? Are they public domain?

Thanks in advance.
