We are thinking of bringing up TeX, but I am still a little confused by what I have read about it. There are two major issues that I am not yet clear on. - How easy/difficult is it to bring up on a stock System V machine, with no source license and no Pascal compiler at all? I've seen WEB-to-C mentioned but I don't know what it is. I get the impression that at least some of TeX can now be brought up with just a C compiler - no Pascal - is this true? If so, and if it is only "some", what parts still require Pascal? - Is there a driver for the HP LaserJet+ printer? The recent posting about this mentioned that the lj+ is not "officially" supported, and the driver included in the distribution has some strange quirks. Are there others around? Thanks for any information on this. jw ...!mcvax!cernvax!pan!jw
