One minor caveat about MicroTeX is that the documentation notes that it 
requires 512K of memory, and means it.  On an AT w/ 512K I can't run it 
if I have any drivers or memory-resident utilities loaded.  Since I 
normally load ANSI.SYS, that means that to run TeX I must move CONFIG.SYS 
and reboot; most annoying.  Solution:  if you want to use the PC for 
anything besides
TeX, get MORE THAN 512K memory.
