While you may believe that having a 3B2 would solve your TeX installation
problems, believe me - it would not. On your HP840 you have the ability to
set up a file system (don't ask me exactly how) to use file names > 14 chars.
That inability - along with the pascal compiler nonsense - has made it almost
impossible to install TeX. I have gotten common tex2.9 running (as you could),
but am waiting for ics.uci.edu to go back on line before I can try web2c, etc.
Anyway - you should be able to install the TeX distribution from the Univ.
of Washington. We have an HP840 here, and it was installed after the file
name modification, mentioned above. If you have problems I will ask that
System Administrator to drop you a line, but he probably doesn't have a lot of
time - maybe you can send a tape and get an image of his TeX directory ...
Please try the default distribution first, though.
Good Luck,
Mike Finegan
