  A few messages ago (~40) someone mentioned that they wanted to see an
implementation of TeX on the GS.  I second the motion.  Last I looked, TeX was
a montrous, but not unreasonable, pile of Pascal code.  I would bet that we
have the processor horsepower, and certainly the memory.  Anyone with a copy of
TeX want to look at the source for us?  As I recall, Knuth made it very easy to
implement on any machine that ran standard Pascal.

  (Anyone want to do try to arrange a net.project?)

  ps.  H. Grant Delany: Did the post of an installer script imply a post of the
rest of Sys 5.0 -> 5.02, or was that just meant to suggest that we should go
out and get it.  :)
