\heading{\large\bf What is \TeX}
\bf \TeX\ is a source based (vs. WYSYWYG) Document Processing Language
written by Donald Knuth 1978-1982. Although difficult to learn
it has become the standard typesetting language of the mathematical
community.  Its major strengths are
\begin{itemize}
\item  It is free or available as shareware
\item  It produces high quality mathematical typesetting.
\item  A companion program, Metafont, is used to develop new fonts
 suitable for use on any printer.
\item  It is modular and flexible. Knuth's program provides a basic
core of typesetting commands, which others can adapt to their needs.
 capabilities.
\end{itemize}

text.
\item[1969] {\bf FORMAT} ran on IBM 360s included {\bf DICT} a spell checker.
\item[197?]{\bf PUB} developed at the Stanford AI labs using the {\bf SAIL}
system (also used later by \TeX).
\item[197?] {\bf TROFF} (Joe Ossana), {\bf NROFF, DITROFF} (Kernighan)
developed for the unix operating system.
\item[197?]  {\bf Scribe} developed at CMU by Brian
Reid. Source based system, simple, easy to use, portable.
\item[1978] Donald Knuth  teaches a class at Stanford University on
Computers and Typesetting.
\item[1983] \TeX 82 and Knuth's \TeX book appear.
