[Document it and call it a feature]

Does anyone know anything about Donald Knuth's TeX (and MetaFont) system(s)?

In particular:	What language(s) is it written in?
		Where do I get it?
		Is it available cheap for universities?
			Otherwise, what does it cost?
		Will it handle laser printers?

Probable machines it would be run on:
	Vax 11/780 running 4.x BSD.	\
	Cyber 170 running NOS.		 >-->	Xerox 9700 laser printer
	IBM 4341 running VM.		/

Preferred implementation languages: C, Pascal, PL/1.

Thanks for any information you may have!
