Hi,

I would like to get TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX, etc., along with programs for 
DVI to Postscript and DVI to HP Laserjet, and a X Windows DVI previewer.
My questions are this:

  1)  I have a 386sx with 8MB memory and about 30MB of disk space I could
allocate to TeX, et. al.  I am running Unix System V, Release 4.0.  Does
anyone know of a package that has actually been run on V.4?  Given my
machine limitations, which TeX would be best to get?  I don't have FTP 
access, but I could probably get it for a while if that is my only hope. 

  2)  I don't know much about TeX and DVI and fonts, etc.  I have seen 
references to virtual fonts.  What is the difference between virtual fonts
and non-virtual?  Can Postscript fonts be used with TeX?  Can I get any
of these features?

Given all these considerations, can anyone recommend a good package to get,
where I could get it from, and if there is any chance I could get it any
other way than FTP.

Post or e-mail me if you can help me out.

Thanks,
