[comp.text.tex] TeX???? WHERE?

pwh@bradley.bradley.edu (Pete Hartman) (06/08/91)

Having gotten tired of seeing tex files as the only documentation
of various public domain packages I've ftp'd, I was finally going
to break down and get a copy of some public domain TeX package.
Unfortunately, I don't even know if such a thing exists, and wherever
I go to do anonymous ftp (including ymir), I can't figure out what
these things they call "sources" really are.  The latest example being
the "source" on ymir, which I see absolutely NO way of understanding how
to apply.

What is my problem?  Is there any such thing as public domain TeX?
Will I tear all my hair out before I get a reply?

Any help answering these questions would be greatly appreciated.

My apologies for my previous posting, asking for TeX sources, but
not stating what machine I needed them for.  I'm running SunOS 4.1.1 on
various Sun 4 (sparc) machines.  I have recieved mail pointing me to the
FAQ list and a supplement with information on how to get TeX,
so I don't think I'll need any more help on this.

Thanks to those who sent me mail about this.
