[comp.text] UNIX TeX

ken@rochester.UUCP (09/23/87)

There have been queries about how to get TeX. For UNIX, at least,
the answer comes from the latest issue of TUGBOAT.

=====
How to order:

To order a full distribution of TeX, send $100.00 (foreign sites
$110.00, to cover the extra postage) payable to the University of
Washington to:

	Pierre A. MacKay
	Northwest Computer Support Group, DW-10
	University of Washington
	Seattle, Washington 98195

The normal distribution is a tar tape, blocked 20, 1600 bpi. If you
need 1/4 in streamer cartridges for the SUN, be sure to tell us.
Although we have had problems previously with cartridge tapes, we can
usually hope to get them out quite fast now.
=====

NB: Don't send me mail about any of this or about other TeX ports - I
will ignore. If you have other TeX questions, you are urged to join the
TeXHax mailing list, address texhax-request@score.stanford.edu.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that unless you have BSD brand
Unix or the SysV port of Berkeley pc you don't have much chance of
getting Pascal TeX to work. There are versions of TeX in C but none on
the official distribution tape.

I should mention that you should be prepared to spend a couple of
days configuring TeX. It is not a trivial software package.  The tape
has 35 Mb of goodies.
