I am trying to get TeX for an MSDOS machine.  I successfully loaded SBTeX
via anonymous ftp from venus.ycc.yale.edu, but we need a few more things.

First, some sort of previewer to avoid all those wasted laser-printer pages
Second, font metric files for the American modern fonts - SBTeX came with
computer modern fonts which are not so pretty.

(Question: are these font metric files just standard, so I can copy them from 
anywhere with no technical or legal problems)

Cheers

Gordon
