I attempted to install TeX on a Sun Sparcstation.  I got the web2c source
and tried to follow the directions in the README file.  When the make came
to the tangle command, I found that I did not have all of the data files 
required.  I went back to the net and got the web.tar file that contains 
the data files for web2c.  Then I continued and everything compiled until
it got to "make bases".  Then I found that I was missing some more data 
files.  So I went back to the net again and found some of what I was missing.

Finally, I will get to the point.  I never did get everything installed
because I eventually got to some data files I could not find.  I need one of
two questions answered:

      1) Is there detailed instructions for installing TeX and all the data
         files that I need as well as where to find these files?
      2) What I really needed was a converter to convert a TeX file to 
         postscript but I do not want to have to have TeX installed.  Does
         anybody know where to find this?
