A few questions.  I'm new to the TeXworld, the usual excuse-me's
apply.  If you have any answers, please MAIL them to me, do not
post.


1.  Is TeX a freely distributed system, like gnu-emacs?

2.  Can it be obtained in C code, instead of Pascal.  I have a
pascal compiler (Sun standard distribution), but I'd rather run in
C if its available that way.

3.  Does anyone know where TeX can be ftp'ed from on the Arpanet?

My thanks,
