+\centerline{\sl based on a press release}
+\noindent
+Amiga\TeX{} has a long history of firsts. Available since mid-1986,
+\TeX{} on the Commodore Amiga, written by Tom Rokicki, was the first to use
+scalable font technology to provide the best possible output on any printer. It
+was the first typesetting program to allow interprocess communication with other
+applications through ARexx. And now, Amiga\TeX{} is the first publishing
+program on the Amiga to support fully arbitrary \PS\ fonts and graphics
+on-screen.
+
+Amiga\TeX{} users can choose from thousands of \PS\ Type~3 and hinted Type~1
+fonts. The fonts can be scaled, slanted, and stretched. \PS\ fonts will be
+rendered automatically for screen display or any printer as needed. \PS\
+graphics from a wide variety of sources -- including virtually all structured
+drawing packages on the Amiga and other machines -- can be easily scaled and
+integrated into Amiga\TeX{} documents. The graphics will appear on the screen
+exactly as they will on a printer, within the limits of the screen resolution.
+
+Widely recognized as the best \TeX{} implementation available for any
+computer, Amiga\TeX{} is fully compatible with the latest \TeX{} 3.1 and \MF{}
+2.7 standards, and fully supports virtual fonts in the previewer and all device
+drivers. The multitasking and interprocess communication capabilities of the
+Amiga provide concurrent formatting, printing,
+previewing, and editing, and all such communication can be controlled through
+ARexx.
+
+Amiga\TeX{} is a comprehensive typesetting system. Primary strengths of the
+software include equations and tables, long documents (there is no limit on
+document length except for the size of your hard disk), and the highest quality
+typesetting.
+
+
+The retail price of the new 3.1a release is \quid140.00, claimed to be lower
+than the cost of direct import. A free functional demonstration disk is
+available on written (not telephone!) request. For more information contact
+the exclusive UK and Eire distributors
