We have TeX running on a System V machine (actually it's HP-UX on an
hp9000s500) which is a port of the tex82 distribution (it's all in
Pascal). We have change files for initex, tex (virtex is not possible
on a Series 500), tangle, weave etc and also for dviplus (the LaserJet+
driver). I have nearly finished a C version of the LaserJet driver.
We also have a program to convert LaserJet+ soft fonts into TeX pixel
files so that TeX can use them.
Does anybody want this stuff.....should I post it.....mod.sources???

P.S. For those who don't know; TeX was written in WEB (a system for
structured documentation) which can build either the Pascal
program, or create a beautiful TeX document for printing. A
change file is used to modify the WEB file for any system
dependencies.
