Is there any interest in a ftp'able binary distribution of TeX for Unix/386 systems? I can make mine available through one of the local ftp sites. The idea would be to offer a self contained collection of TeX + Metafont binaries ( from the latest web2c compiled with gcc) and formated manual pages. This was generated under ISC 2.2. I am assuming the binaries should run unchanged on the other SysV 3.2 implementations. In addition the binaries, I would include the essential TeX, LaTeX and Metafont input files, and a full working system could be built. Any Suggestions?
