+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label commercial</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>Commercial TeX implementations</h3>
+<!-- windows,macintosh,commercial -->
+<p/>There are many commercial implementations of TeX. The first
+appeared not long after TeX itself appeared.
+<p/>What follows is probably an incomplete list. Naturally, no warranty or
+fitness for purpose is implied by the inclusion of any vendor in this
+list. The source of the information is given to provide some clues to
+its currency.
+<p/>In general, a commercial implementation will come &lsquo;complete&rsquo;, that is,
+with suitable previewers and printer drivers. They normally also have
+extensive documentation (<em>i.e</em>., not just the TeXbook!) and some
+sort of support service. In some cases this is a toll free number
+(probably applicable only within the USA and or Canada), but others
+also have email, and normal telephone and fax support.

+<p/>Note that the company Y&amp;Y has gone out of business, and Y&amp;Y
+TeX (and support for it) is therefore no longer available. Users
+of Y&amp;Y systems may care to use the self-help
