I have an interesting problem that needs solving in TeX. What is wanted is a
way to make TeX set text in a BOX of a defined size (the user
supplies the height and width wanted, and an error tolerance). Another 
requirement is that the font MUST remain the same in the text BUT the point 
size of the font can vary. How do you set the text inside of this box? 
As I am still new to TeX I really am not sure where to start with this, any
hints, ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.

PS: Does anyone have any experience bringing TeX under SYS III or
    on a Plexus system?
