TeX is available from the normal places (U. Washington, as I remember)
for the PMAX.
emacs and lots of other gnu software runs on PMAX.  Dunno what the
current state of GCC is,
other than I saw some people attempting to install it several months ago
(haven't happened
to talk to them since.).  Maybe someone out there can be more definitive.

I also know people running ditroff on the machine, and we've certainly
been running
transcript on PMAX from within a month of the machine's first existance
inside Digital.
