[comp.text] Tex in C

monardo@renoir.Berkeley.EDU (Pat Monardo) (01/02/87)

There exists a TeX in C. I call it Common TeX.
It's a complete source level implementation of TeX. 
It contains standard C programming style, preserving
all WEB macros and modules.  It currently runs on
several systems, with zero alterations necessary to port
and passing the trip tests after the first compile.

Although this message originates from a University of
California machine and is in use here at Berkeley,
I own the copyright and am planning to release TeX
for general use to all interested parties through
the same principles as the original TeX and other
notable software authors. 

Currently there are no adequate distribution
mechanisms established, but I am willing to
work to provide this service. Please contact me
if you are interested in receiving this program.
