	Just before the RS6000 was announced, I wrote to IBM
asking if they would like TeX ported to their new machines,
in return for time on the machines.  After much delay I was
told that Univ. Washington where preparing a port---I don't
know if this was officially undertaken, but IBM gave me the 
impression that a working TeX would be available soon (I was
told this ~6 months ago)

	I guess someone official at u.wash can help.
