Yes, OzTeX is a Macintosh implementation of Knuth's TeX (version 2.0). It was
written by Andrew Trevorrow at the University of Adelaide, South Australia.
But it *does not* fit onto one 800K; try 10 instead. OzTeX comes complete
with the LaTeX and AMS-TEX macros, and is available by anonymous ftp from
a couple of sites in the U.S. I don't know where exactly, but perhaps one of
the U.S. OzTeX distributors could post to this newsgroup? [Walter?]
