I got SB26TEX.ARC from Simtel20 a week ago and have been trying to install it ever since. I have 640K base memory and after clearing my system to the bare minimum configuration, I have 600800 bytes of usable space. For some reason, I am unable to build the Plain TeX format still... INITEX just dies and gives some error about running out of space with buffer 1023 or something like that. Does anyone have a working version and can send me the prebuilt formats for plain and latex? Better yet, can you tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Ron woan@peyote.cactus.org

Your .tex files are not properly terminated with CR-LF as per MSDOS standard. This causes the input buffer to overflow because TeX finds the lines too long. Did you get your files in image mode from a Unix system or something like that?
