How I understand you! Ten years ago I co-edited the proceedings of a 
conference, my contribution being dominantly computer-related and that 
of the other co-editor dominantly science-related. We only had a Mac 
with Textures on it, and this was working pretty well for our needs. 
But then we started receiving papers prepared on Unix machines, with 
graphics prepared with GNUplot and requiring dvips-specific PS prologs 
to work, and so forth. That went on for several months like this as 
papers were coming in, each bringing to light a new compatibility 
issue. This is when I learnt, the hard way, what MF and PK font files 
were, what the ZIP, TAR, GZ and UU formats were, what an EOL character 
was; this is also when I started ditching Textures for OzTeX, more 
compatible with the rest of the world.

Good luck,

Bruno Voisin
