Could someone please tell me where I could obtain a copy of SliTeX?

Thanks.

SliTeX is just a modified set of LaTeX macros. If you have initex and
virtex on your system, you make slitex in a similar fashion to latex.
All you need are the slitex macro files (splain.tex, slitex.tex,
latex.tex, sfonts.tex, slides.{doc,sty}, and some common TeX macro
files, e.g. hyphen.tex). You'll also need the SliTeX fonts (tfm and
pk), or alternatively, metafont and mf sources for SliTeX fonts and a
list of names and magnifications gleaned from sfonts.tex.  Or let
dvips54 generate the fonts on demand.

Oh almost forgot. labrea.stanford.edu or your friendly slave archive
should have the stuff.
