[comp.text] Setting up TeX for MSDOS using SB26.

phd_6k@gsbacd.uchicago.edu (11/16/89)

I am trying to get TeX for MSDOS using anonymous ftp at SIMTEL20.  However,
when I run the INITEX program on the file PLAIN.TEX, it bombs saying that the
file TEX.POOL is not available.  As a matter of fact, the file is present but
since DOS file extensions are only three characters long, it does not recognize
the file TEX.POO as TEX.POOL.  I wonder if those who have set up TeX using
SB26TEX ran into this problem and if so, how they got around it.

Another thing.  I am trying to also get LaTeX but it requires the file
LPLAIN.TEX and that does not seem to be available in the SIMTEL archives.
Does anyone know how I could get it ?
