Hello TeXlanders!

I would greatly appreciate any help in the following problem:
We try to compose a Hebrew TeX system on the IBM-PC. The easiest way
seems to use D. Knuth modifications, collectively know as TeXXeT,
but those can only be applied to sources. I tried the following methods
with no success:
 1) Download DosTex from simtel20 (no sources there)
 2) Download SBTeX from simtel20 (no src again)
 3) Download unix sources, both Turbo C and
 Turbo Pascal choke when they have to compile
 the C/pascal sources.

The best thing would be public domain sources, but I guess the
Hebrew University could still be moved by its bureaucratic wheels
to raise some money to pay for the sources


Thanks
 -Yossi
