There are several TeX, LaTeX implementations. If you know a site that
has the DECUS TeX tape, their latest version includes PC and Mac PD
versions of TeX and LaTeX. You appear to be in the UK. There is a
texserver@tex.aston.ac.uk. You might want to send a request to postmaster
there to find out how to get things.

It is called SB29TEX and it is available in the TeX subdirectory. You can use the included program called Initex to create a .fmt file for either plain tex or latex or any other macro package. So you will need the appropriate latex files from some other source. RF Richard T. Ferris ferris@eniac.seas.upenn.edu University of Pennsylvania

I do not use these on msdos, since they run too slow and take up too much disk space on my plain vanilla IBM-XT. Frank Robey fcr@saturn.wustl.edu
