Thanks all of you replied. I have download emTeX 3.0 from UMICH and
installed on my 386SX. Here is the problem I have:

1. The package is on six 1.2MB disks. After unzip, it occupied more than
   14MB disks. My intention of using emtex is to setup a typesetting system
   on my PC so I could write papers while in home. I only need a basic
   working system. I decided to delete some components I thought not useful
   to me.  The things I removed are

	BLATEX
	BMF
	BTEX
	GBLATEX
	GBTEX
	GLATEX
	GTEX
	LATEXDOC
	LKURZ
	MFWARE
	MISC_MF
	PKEDIT
	TEXWARE
	WEB

   Is anything more could be removed from harddisk? Or I have deleted something
   which is essential to a basic working system?

2. I tried the latex command and I am very satisfied with its speed. However
   I cannot preview the DVI file it generated with the dviscr.exe command,
   which complained that some font files, like lj_????, could not be found.
   I guess that I did not installed them. I could not find them either on
   the six disks I downloaded. I am curious why dviscr should use the HP
   LaserJet fonts and how I could get it. There are many dvi driver in the
   emtex directory. I don't need all of them. A VGA preview would be enough
   for me. I want to remove some of them. I hope I won't have trouble in the
   future?


Please e-mail me your reply.

Thanks in advance.
