I have heard that there exists a translation of TeX into C. This rumor is associated with Texas A&M. Anybody know anything about this? Who to contact, etc? Thanks. -- -Mike Wescott ncrcae!wescott

U.Wash distributes Unix TeX. I crossed this up with it being written in C. David Smith

I think that Texas A & M University is indeed a TeX distribution point. For what it is worth, I think that Dr. Bart Childs of Texas A & M University could help you find a C version of TeX. His telephone number is (409) 845-5470. I tried to call him but he was away on vacation for the week. You might also want to try Dr. Naugle, at (409) 845-3104.

I believe at least two such translations exist.
One was done by David Fuchs here at Stanford (an associate
of Knuth), and is the basis for his TeX version for the IBM
PC (published by Addison-Wesley). This version is \not/
public-domain. I don't know anything about the other version,
but David might be able to help you locate it.
David Fuchs is fuchs@navajo.stanford.edu or
