I am looking into switching from a macintosh system over to unix (it's too
awkward programming the mac). I don't have access to a laser printer (at
least, not always), but I want to be able to get 150dpi output from a normal,
high resolution, printer. I can do it on the mac, but I want to know if
there's anything out there like TeX for a dot matrix printer (or if TeX can
run on a dmp).

If there is such software out there (I need proportional spacing, italics,
boldface, underlining, font sizes, super/sub scripts, et al.) I'd appreciate
someone telling me where I can get it and about how much it would cost (also
if it's PD/shareware).

I can't specify which printer or which computer, since I don't own it yet,
but it would be something like an IBM-compatible, and the printer would be
whatever I can buy for a reasonable price.

Since it's distinctly possible that my system-to-be would be text only, I
suppose I should specify that what I really need is something that does *not*
require a graphics display (I realized before that I could run something like
pagemaker under microsoft windows to get the desired effect, but, as I said,
I need something for text-only).

Any help would be much appreciated.
