In the process of deciding on a document preparation system for the
software and hardware engineers using a VAX 11/750 with Ultrix, I am
comparing TeX and DWB.

I have found at least three sources of supported versions of DWB.
These are Elan, SoftQuad, and Textware.

However, I have not discovered any companies that produce and support
TeX for Ultrix/Un*x.  I have sent to U. of Washington for information
about the source distribution tape, but I would be willing to pay for a
supported version that runs on Ultrix with output to a LaserJet Series
II.  I don't really have the time or personnel to support a source code
version.  

Is there any company out there that sells a supported version of TeX
for Ultrix (or BSD) with output to a LaserJet printer?  How about a
previewer on some graphics terminal such as TEK 4105A?  I would also
purchase a PC version with graphics previewer.  (I realize
Addison-Wesley has PC and Mac versions.)
