     About 1983 or 1984 we ordered the TeX tape direct from Stanford.  It was
all written in Pascal.  However, it wouldn't compile on the machine we had (an
HP3000 minicomputer) because it was a 16 bit machine and code and data segments 
were limited to 64K.  There were data structures too big for this so we
abandoned that project.

     There are commercial versions of TeX for the PC so perhaps somebody has
tweaked it to fit into 64K segments since then.  The big question is whether
these tweaks have made it back to Stanford and onto the public domain tape.
