[comp.sys.atari.st] Tex availability

	Hi Everyone!
	I remember hearing a few months ago somebody mentioning a version of
TEX called CTEX. Is this a public domain version of Tex? Is it finished? is
if available? I have been offered several thousand dollars worth of typesetting
type work that I could do on a laser printer. It is of the nature that TEX would
be the *ideal* choice of a system. I'm sure others are interested too.
	Thanks,

We just got the complete distribution of TeX for our SUNs, and CommonTeX was
on the tape too.

I downloaded the directory and fixed the path seperators in the file 
handling, etc.   Compiles perfectly....but requires a lot of memory.
2 Megs would probably be a good idea.   Anybody have any tips on
how to get CTeX running on a smaller machine witha  core dump facility?

BTW, the fonts and macros are to be stolen from the Pascal TeX distribution.
