Ok, I think I can tell you some. THe first company listed (FTL Systems) has
a version of TeX for the Macintosh which will be called "MacTeX" (this means
that neither Kellerman & Smith nor anyone else will be calling theirs that).
This is a full implimentation of TeX which passes the "TeX Torture Test".
It comes with a built-in editor. I'll post more info as I get it..

I have no conection with FTL except that a friend of mine writes the software
made there :-)
