CTeX is an automatic translation into C usingthe WEB2C utility. Common TeX
is a hand translation into C by Pat Monardo. CTeX can be easily upgraded
to the current version (2.98) by replacing the WEB file and re-running
the WEB2C utility. This cannot be done with Common TeX. Common TeX can
be compiled under MS-Dos with Microsoft C. I don't think anybody has
done this with CTeX.
