Is there a small LaTeX like system that can run on  a (portable) PC-compatible
(T1000SE) with a 1.44MB floppy, and that is capable  of (1) verifying that the
syntax of my LaTeX text is correct,  and  (2) producing primitive output, e.g.
for VT100/ANSI or a simple Dot-Matrix printer.

Compatibility with LaTeX is most important, as I want to take the source to my
stationary computer and run it off a real LaTeX system with laser quality.

Any help  appreciated. Please  respond  to  my  account, since  I do  not read
comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc or comp.text.tex, typically.

PS: Is there a centralized anonymous ftp archive for  LaTeX macros/extensions?
I would particularly be interested in changing the default format of the table
of contents, and aids to quickly produce mathematical graphs and X-Y graphs of
given data points, as well as other goodies I can't think of at the moment.
