(please post this to comp.text as I am unable to post news myself).

In addition to pcMF (Personal TeX, $195) there are a few other MF's for
MS-DOS. TurboMF is distributed with TurboTeX (Kinch Computer Company,
$150 executables only, $300 executables + source). There is also DosMF
which can be obtained from the author for $75 (with DosTeX) this includes
DosTeX, the whole mess may be freely distributed and is also available
(I think) for anonymous FTP from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil and for
a distribution fee from Jon Radel ($10.50 if you supply 5.25" floppies,
$35 if he supplies the floppies) Gary Beihl, the autho may be reached at
