[comp.sys.dec] DS3100 TeX, emacs, kermit, pascal

brook@ut-emx.UUCP (Brook Milligan) (12/01/89)

I would like to install these applications on a DS3100, and have some
questions. 

1. TeX:  Is the normal Unix distribution sufficient to install TeX and
related software?  Must one have a pascal compiler for any of it or is
C enough?  What is the best source of the software?

2.  emacs:  Is the gnu distribution of emacs sufficient or are any
additional files required?

3.  kermit:  Is there a version that will compile and run on the
DS3100?  Where can it be obtained?

4.  pascal:  Are there pascal compilers for the DS3100?  Where can
they be obtained?

Thanks for your help.  Please respond via email.

I grabbed the UNIX TeX package and used WEB2C to compile TeX. I've had
no problems with it.

You can get UNIX TeX via anonymous FTP from labrea.stanford.edu,
whenever it gets back on its feet. On the other hand, I would imagine
that someone at the UT CS department has a full installation
available.

1) The normal U. Wash. TeX distribution should work fine.

2) The current GNU distribution should work fine.

3) we certainly use Kermit here.  Dunno where we got it off hand.
