Previously I formated a 8.5x11 manual using LaTeX on a BSD Unix system,
now I want to reformat in 5.5x8.5 on my IBM-PC.  I just ordered a copy
of PC-TeX from Personal TeX which includes the LaTeX macros.  I did not
order any of the drivers (dvi_to_whatever).  My intention is to move the
dvi file to a Unix system for printing.  Questions:

Is a free TeX available for the PC?  How about metafont, dvi_to_postscript
(for LaserWriter), dvi_to_hercules_graphics_adapter?

I assume the PC-TeX package comes with font sizes but no actual fonts, I
will need the actual font files on the Unix system.  Is there much chance
of fonts other than Computer Modern being available?

Any comments in general about the PC-TeX package?  I must have something
no later than next week so I cannot wait for a freebie which is almost
ready.
