And there is CommonTeX by Pat `Mondaros. Both are in C. Both seem to be at version 2.9. ` Common Tex was written manually (I assume) by Pat Monardo. From what I have seen, he faithfully transcribed the web code to C. Ctex is generated from the pascal code produced by tangle using a program web2c, also on the Unix TeX tape. So this should always be up to date. -- Piet van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, University of Utrecht Padualaan 14, P.O.
