+
+ <p>There are several commercial versions<a id="id2924356"
+ class="indexterm" name="id2924356"></a> of TeX on the market.
+ The advantage of commercial programs over free ones is that
+ they provide an automated installation procedure and some
+ level of technical support. There's no reason to believe that
+ a commercial implementation of TeX is necessarily better than
+ a free one (or vice versa, for that matter) because the
+ source code for TeX is in the public domain.</p>
+
+ <p>The following sections highlight several commercial
+ implementations of TeX.</p>
+
+ <div class="section">
+ <div class="titlepage">
+ <div>
+ <h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a

+ ArborText</h2>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>ArborText<a id="id2924394" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2924394"></a> sells µTeX<a id="id2924249"
+ class="indexterm" name="id2924249"></a> for MS-DOS<a
+ id="id2924260" class="indexterm" name="id2924260"></a>
+ systems as well as an implementation of TeX for unix
+ workstations. The ArborText previewer and DVI driver
+ software are also available for both unix and MS-DOS
+ systems. The following discussion is based on experiences
+ with µTeX version 3.14B, the MS-DOS implementation of
+ ArborText's TeX package.</p>
+
+ <p>The µTeX package is a complete TeX implementation for
+ MS-DOS. The additional utilities, <b>PLtoTF</b><a
+ id="id2924296" class="indexterm" name="id2924296"></a>,
+ <b>TFtoPL</b><a id="id2924310" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2924310"></a>, and BibTeX<a id="id2924318"
+ class="indexterm" name="id2924318"></a>, are also included.
+ Neither MetaFont nor <b>MakeIndex</b> is provided.</p>
+
+ <p>The default installation of µTeX creates format files
+ for Plain TeX and LaTeX. To be as fast as possible, µTeX
+ creates executable versions of TeX for each of these
+ formats; these versions have the appropriate macro packages
+ preloaded into the executable. You can use the standard
+ notation to load alternate macro packages if you wish to
+ save disk space.</p>
+
+ <p>ArborText includes a lot of support for using TeX for
+ non-English documents<a id="id2931362" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2931362"></a>. Several files of international
+ hyphenation patterns (English, French<a id="id2931375"
+ class="indexterm" name="id2931375"></a>, German<a
+ id="id2931383" class="indexterm" name="id2931383"></a>,
+ Dutch<a id="id2931392" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2931392"></a>, and Portuguese<a id="id2931400"
+ class="indexterm" name="id2931400"></a>) are provided, as
+ well as reprints of the TUGboat articles describing new
+ features of TeX version 3.0 and virtual fonts.</p>
+
+ <p>Designed for an MS-DOS environment having only limited
+ memory, µTeX uses a swap file (potentially located in EMS<a
+ id="id2931415" class="indexterm" name="id2931415"></a> or
+ XMS memory<a id="id2931426" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2931426"></a>) to process large files. Several
+ environment variables can be used to alter the size of
+ internal TeX data structures when a new format is being
+ produced. In terms of big and small versions, µTeX can be
+ configured either way. These choices are made when you
+ create the format file however, so you will need to use
+ iniTeX<a id="id2931434" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2931434"></a> (included with µTeX) to make a
+ &#8220;bigger&#8221; TeX.</p>
+
+ <p>One of the most interesting features of µTeX is a
+ quick-and-dirty preview mode provided by the TeX
+ executable. After at least one page of your document has
+ been processed, you can switch to a preview mode and see
+ what the page looks like while TeX continues processing
+ your document. This previewer is not particularly
+ attractive, but it's quick and easy to use. No other
+ previewer is provided. ArborText sells a fully functional
+ previewer as a separate package.</p>
+
+ <p>To print your documents, you must purchase or obtain a
+ DVI driver separately. ArborText sells two drivers, one for
+ HP LaserJet printers and another for PostScript printers.
+ The µTeX distribution includes a complete set of
+ <tt>TFM</tt> files, but it does not include any <tt>PK</tt>
+ files.</p>
+
+ <p>The ArborText previewer is summarized in the section
+ called &#8220;<a href="ch09.html#sec.arb.preview"
+ title="TeX Preview">the section called &#8220;TeX
+ Preview&#8221;</a>&#8221; in Chapter&#160;<a

+ </div>
+
+ <p>\yyTeX<a id="id2931596" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2931596"></a> is an MS-DOS<a id="id2931608"
+ class="indexterm" name="id2931608"></a> implementation of
+ TeX by Y&amp;Y Inc.<a id="id2931622" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2931622"></a> (a 386 or higher processor is
+ required). \yyTeX is sold as a bundled package with
+ <b>DVIWindo</b><a id="id2931641" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2931641"></a>, <b>dvipsone</b><a id="id2931655"
+ class="indexterm" name="id2931655"></a>,<sup>[<a
+ id="id2931663" name="id2931663"
+ href="#ftn.id2931663">126</a>]</sup> and a set of
+ PostScript fonts (either the Computer Modern fonts, the
+ Lucida Bright and Lucida New Math fonts, or the MathTime
+ fonts). The installation provides format files for Plain
+ TeX and LaTeX.</p>
+
+ <p>\yyTeX stands out among TeX systems because of its
+ memory management. Unlike other TeX systems, which exist in
+ big and small versions, all of \yyTeX's memory management
+ is dynamic. All of the buffers that TeX uses (main memory,
+ font memory, string memory, etc.) will expand to meet the
+ needs of the most complex documents you create. The memory
+ required for hyphenation patterns is dynamically allocated
+ as well, which means that you can construct multilingual
+ formats with as many sets of hyphenation patterns as you
+ need (multilingual formats are discussed in more detail in
+ Chapter&#160;<a href="ch07.html"
+ title="Chapter&#160;7.&#160;International Considerations">Chapter&#160;7</a>,
+ <span class="emphasis"><em><a href="ch07.html"
+ title="Chapter&#160;7.&#160;International Considerations">Chapter&#160;7</a></em></span>).
+ The advantage of dynamic memory management over a fast and
+ big TeX is that \yyTeX starts out small (big TeXs reserve a
+ large fixed amount of memory even when processing simple
+ jobs that don't require very much). In a multitasking
+ environment where several programs are competing for
+ memory, one large program can slow the progress of the
+ entire system. \yyTeX's memory manager supports XMS<a
+ id="id2931742" class="indexterm" name="id2931742"></a>,
+ VCPI<a id="id2931757" class="indexterm"
+ name="id2931757"></a>, and DPMI<a id="id2931765"
+ class="indexterm" name="id2931765"></a>. This means that it
+ can run under MS-DOS with any of the common memory managers
+ and under Windows, Windows NT, and DOS sessions in OS/2<a
+ id="id2931776" class="indexterm" name="id2931776"></a><a
+ id="id2931789" class="indexterm" name="id2931789"></a><a
+ id="id2931802" class="indexterm" name="id2931802"></a>.</p>
+
+ <p>\yyTeX has a couple of additional strengths for
+ multilingual use: it supports customizable input character
+ translation and more than 255 internal font numbers. Most
+ versions of TeX only support a maximum of 255 fonts in any
+ single document.</p>

+ </div>
+
+ <p><b>Scientific Word</b> is a powerful program that might
+ prove to be invaluable in some circumstances. An ideal
+ candidate for <b>Scientific Word</b> is someone with little
+ or no desire to learn TeX, but who wants professional
+ quality output for documents containing a lot of
+ mathematics. <b>Scientific Word</b> is not simply a fast,
+ interactive previewer; it really is a visual editor that
+ produces TeX code behind the scenes. You enter document
+ elements (even complex elements like mathematics) in an
+ interactive push-button fashion, and <b>Scientific Word</b>
+ translates it into the appropriate LaTeX input. This is
+ very different from Blue Sky Research's <b>Textures</b>
+ where the user types in TeX but has nearly instantaneous
+ feedback.</p>
+
+ <p>Unfortunately, the complexity of TeX vastly exceeds
+ <b>Scientific Word's</b> ability to act as a visual editor,
+ and this leads to a number of potentially confusing
+ discrepancies. For example, in a TeX document, the
+ \parindent and \parskip control sequences control the
+ indentation of the first line of a paragraph and the
+ distance between paragraphs. In <b>Scientific Word</b>, the
+ on-screen appearance of the document is controlled
+ separately. This difference is apparent in Figure&#160;<a
+ href="ch14.html#fig.sciword"
+ title="Figure&#160;14.4.&#160;Editing a document with Scientific Word ">
+ Figure&#160;14.4</a>, where the paragraphs appear to be
+ indented with no additional space between them, and
+ Figure&#160;<a href="ch14.html#fig.commercial.swpreview"
+ title="Figure&#160;14.5.&#160;Preview of the Scientific Word document shown in Figure ">
+ Figure&#160;14.5</a> (the same document shown in the
+ previewer) where the paragraphs are not indented but have
+ additional space between them.</p>
+
+ <p>These discrepancies arise because <b>Scientific Word</b>
+ was designed with the same philosophy as LaTeX: separation
+ of content and form. The purpose of the <b>Scientific
+ Word</b> editor is to allow you to organize your thoughts
+ and perfect the content of your document. It is the job of
+ LaTeX, in conjunction with the document style options that
+ you select, to perfect the appearance of your document. The
+ display shown in Figure&#160;<a
+ href="ch14.html#fig.sciword"
+ title="Figure&#160;14.4.&#160;Editing a document with Scientific Word ">
+ Figure&#160;14.4</a> is not incorrect in any way, it just
+ isn't WYSIWYG. TCI Research claims that &#8220;by going
+ beyond WYSIWYG, <b>Scientific Word</b> allows you to focus
+ on the creative process&#160;$&#8230;$ and not the layout
+ commands necessary to typeset [your document].&#8221;</p>
