"I have used Personal TeX products for many years and have always been very impressed by the quality of their products and service. PCTeX software installs quickly, easily, and according to the instructions."- Peter Grogono, Concordia University in Montreal

I have used earlier versions for the past eight years, so I feel qualified to say that this vendor has steadily improved the product and integrated TeX successfully into the PC world, now with beautiful PDF output of the same quality that was formerly available only through the fields high-price leader... By the way, be sure to get the new Math Time font package. It is a super companion for Times New Roman main text font. Papers will have a more professional appearance. CMR makes a much better yesterday than a today. Personal TeX, both company and product, have my recommendation. "- Odell Hegna, Minneapolis, MN
