is there tex/metafont for xenix 2.0? i didn't look, but my impression is that the source is in pascal. are there any freely copyable pascal compilers? are there any freely copyable pascal to c compilers? would it be dumb to put the thing through a pascal to c compiler, then put it through a c compiler? thank you for any responses. gwoho liu.

It supposed compiles straight onto MSDOS, Unix sys V for 68000and BSD 4.3. I once faint heartedly tried to compile it on my Xenix system, but it didnt work at first. I dont remember why. In any case you should be able to hack something out. I got my copy through Austin Code Works. Sorry, I dont have the address handy, but you can get their address in most Byte or Dr Dobbs mags.

I don't know what the capabilities of your xenix are, but I have compiled the TeX3.0 sources on Xenix/386 rel 2.3.2. I used gcc as the compiler. I think I have compiled it under cc also. There is a trnalation from web (the original language) to C. The source file set is huge. I will be making the /386 binaries available after a little more testing. Ron. -- | Ronald J.
