We are running TeX under UTS here at Texas A&M.  It is a full version 2.0
TeX in C which is handled by n^2 consultants in College Station.  For
more info you should contact Norman Naugle.  I don't know of a net address
for him; his phone is (409) 845-3104.
 
For anyone who's interested, we are developing a DVI driver for the larger
Xerox printers (9700, 8700, 9790, 8790, 4050) called TeXrox.  It is written
in C, and currently runs under UTS, VAX/VMS, and VM/CMS (the latter using
the Lattice C compiler; a port to Waterloo C is planned).  Ports to MVS
(both Lattice and Waterloo C) are also planned.  It comes with lots of nice
font utilities for downloading TeX fonts and using the Xerox Mergenthaler
fonts with TeX.  It is almost ready for selected beta-test distribution;
