Perhaps this should be an item on the list with STANDARD questions (Don?)

EmTeX is a TeX package for MsDos systems written by Ebenhard Mattes.
It's a very good implementation running Tex, LateX, MetaFont, previewer,
and several printer drivers. An extra feature is TeXCad, it makes LaTeX
drawings.

The drivers make it possible 
 - 	to have LaTeX lines at all angles.
 -	Rotate and mirror the pages in different modes, using the standard
	fonts.
 -	Include bitmapped drawings in special format (Microsoft??)

The disadvantage used to be that it had german manuals. But it seems that
this is fixed.

If you want the package through FTP, try terminator.cc.umich.edu.
But I don't know where the English manuals can be found.
(Currently it's also on eba.eb.ele.tue.nl(131.155.2.25) for Europe)
