Well, folks, after chasing it for nearly three years, I have finally found
a PD version of the TeX typesetting program ported to OS9/68000. It is the
port done by John Wainwright. I found it on a local BBS back home over
the summer. I had to download it at 1200 baud, but now it's available via
anonymous FTP from hermit.cs.wisc.edu, presently in the /incoming/OSKTeX
directory. It will likely be moved to another directory as soon as Mr.
Pruyne  finds time to update his maintenance.
   Included are the source code to virtex and initex, as well as executables
of each, and source code to dvi2tty, a dumb-terminal dvi previewer. I also
included a simple C program called 'tex', which does the command line
substitution of 'tex foo.tex' for the more cumbersome 'virtex &plain foo.tex'
Now all that is needed is a printer driver to take the dvi files and print
them out, as well as the rastered font files required for that printer driver.
Let me know if you have source for a dvi driver of some sort. I'm looking
for a dvi-to-epson driver myself, though I'm sure others are interested in the
drivers and fonts for their respective printers as well.

Enjoy!
