I am relatively new to this list, so I apologise if these questions
have been asked.  I am looking for two things, for the various
MS-DOS systems we are running here:
 
1. A nice, small, DVI previewer that works on Hercules screens (a
   port of DVIVGA would be nice ;-)  The only one I have is from
   the DOSTeX package, and that will only load about 14 fonts before
   crashing!  This frustrates my colleagues and students...
 
2. A Windows 3.0 port of TeX itself.  I personally use sbTeX,
   DVIMSWIN, and a small Windows editor to run LaTeX, and I am
   generally pleased with the result, but one needs a 386 to put
   sbTeX into a window, where it belongs, so that one can correct
   input easily at each error message.  [No problem for me, but
   not all our PCs are 386's ;-( ]
