What spans do you have between joists, what thickness of plywood were 
you planning, and what type of use are you planning for the floor?

At first I was wondering why you would need T&G, but the answers to the 
questions above would help to define that.  And then I thought that if 
you really wanted T&G you could just set up a router and after ripping 
the plywood to 2' widths you could add your own T&G.
