The Version of DOSTeX I tried a year back came with TeX82 and LaTeX macro sets
as well as the METAfont package.  It also came with a hercules previewer,
but I found this of limited success.

I'm sure I saw this stuff on SIMTEL20 in PD1:<MSDOS.TEX> but maybe I'm
mistaken.  I think there are previewers for EGA and VGA machines there
as well.

If (when) I upgrade my machine to a 386 I'll probably use TeX again - its a
bit slow for my poor 8088 :-)
