[texhax] TeX Converter

[tom sgouros]

TeX itself converts from TeX format to PDF.  There are a few Windows
versions that you can find via tug.org.

Tell your bosses that TeX was developed at Stanford, and perhaps that
will make them happy.  There are now contributors all over the world,
but perhaps they don't need to know that.
