[comp.sys.apollo] TeX info wanted

WWDONIC@HEITUE5.BITNET (02/09/89)

Could anyone give me some information about Apollo TeX implementations?
All I know is that there must be one or two versions around.
My questions:

1. Who supplies the package?
2. Is it public domain or commercial?  If PD, is it distributed by
   email?  FTP to the U.S. is impossible from here (Netherlands).
3. Does it include fonts, drivers etc?  I cannot afford to spend
   much time putting together a package from various
   incompatible pieces, so it should be easy to install.

Thanks for any help,

Hiya,

     TeX is available through ADUS (Apollo Domain Users Society).  Your
local Apollo reps should know how to contact them.  Fonts are supplied as
are drivers.  The cost is for media and shipping only.  Might I reccomend
GNU Emacs at the same time.  (I have contact numbers if your local group
does not).

     If you do not know about ADUS, you are missing out on a wealth of
good software.

I ported to the Apollo the UNIX TeX distribution from the University of
Washington together with a .dvi previewer I originally got from CMU.  I
submitted this complete, ready to run version of TeX and MetaFont to the ADUS
library, so it should be available from them.
