The second edition of The Manual [23] begins: `LATEX is a system for typesetting documents. Its first widely available version, mysteriously numbered 2.09, appeared in 1985.'It is too early for a complete critical assessment of the impact of LATEX 2.09 because its world-wide effects on many aspects of many cultures, not least scientific publication, remain strong after 15 years—and that itself is significant in a technological world where a mere 15 months of fame can make and break an idea.Therefore this paper provides simply a review and evaluation of the relationship between TEX, LATEX and some of the major technical developments in the world of quality automated formatting since the publication of LATEX 2.09 in 1985. It is is neither definitive nor comprehensive but I hope it is informative.
