Yes, it's the TeX we run here.  Ours was/is the release-for-porting,
still has some bugs, but we're very happy.  The C translation, in a Unix
environment, is much faster on a loaded machine (smaller binary -> less
page faults...)  Mail to monardo@renoir.berkeley.edu is probably your
best bet.  I don't mind making ours available for ftp, but you are
warned -- it's buggy.  If anyone is going to go to the trouble of uucp
or mail transfer, you may as well get the real one (ie, send mail to
ucbvax!ucbrenoir!monardo).  We're pretty satisfied.  Oh, yeah -- it's
free, last I checked.  (copy, but don't sell...)
