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 ‘complete’, 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. +<dl> +<dt>PC; TrueTeX<dd> Runs on all versions of Windows. + <blockquote> + Richard J.
