AmigaTeX is available from Radical Eye
US $200. About 6 program disks + 6 font disks. 6 or 12 MB hard disk space.
1 or 2 MB memory I would say.

There is also a PD TeX called PasTeX
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The author of GNU emacs and various UNIX command ports (ls, mv, grep, ...)
is David Gay. You'll need a couple MB of hard disk and RAM.
I've lost the FTP site address. Look for unix/fileutils, unix/textutils,
unix/gnuemacs-18.58.

Along with GNU emacs you'll probably want the fifo.library from Fish 588.
Also you may want to replace the UNIX sh with csh from Fish 624. I needed
to do this to use a TeX-shell in GNUemacs TeX-mode.

GNU plot 3.2 is on Fish disk 701
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNIX diff is available from
ftp.uu.net
/systems/amiga/dillon
filename: diff115.lzh
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ispell 3.11 ljr is available from wuarchive,
/usenet/comp.binaries.amiga/volume91/applications/ispell
It's a major pain to assemble together. Once assembled it is spiffy though.
The hash file is about 500k, HD highly recommended.
Maybe someone should upload the assembled version?
