[comp.sys.ncr] GNU software/TeX on a Mini-Tower

pcolsen@super.ORG (Peter C Olsen) (03/24/91)

I'm a graduate student looking for advice.

I recently bought an NCR-Mini-Tower as a platform for wordprocessing
and software design for my thesis research.  The question is, will the
Mini-Tower support the software (EMACS, gcc, g++, TeX) I need.  If
not, I got the machine cheap enough to resell and recoup my money, if
I do it quickly.  Has anyone ported the GNU software to the
Mini-Tower? TeX?  If so, can you send me the code and/or binaries?

When the software is complete, I plan to run the ``production''
code on a more capable remote machine.  Is there a public-domain
version software for the TCP/IP protocol which I can use to link the
Mini-Tower with other systems?

Thanks --- both for your help and your patience with novices!
