There certainly should be a LOT of demand for it.  You ought to bring that to
the attention of Addison-Wesley Publishing, which I believe is the marketing
agent for it.  They are located in Reading, MA and their phone number is
(617) 944-3700.  Point out the cost of the 520ST and how many have been sold
so far.  (Neil???)  I think it is well over a quarter million units.  Many of
them to students and computer scientists interested in publishing technical
papers.

The only point of contact I know at A-W is Keith Wollman, who is at another
office, (617) 246-5100.  He is an "Acquisition Editor" for undergraduate
computer science texts.  He may well know Knuth and be interested in the TeX
product.

P.S. - If YOU are interested in porting TeX to the ST, A-W probably would
supply the ST!
