We have TeX  running  on a System V machine  (actually  it's HP-UX on an
hp9000s500)  which  is a port of the  tex82  distribution  (it's  all in
Pascal).  We have change  files for initex, tex (virtex is not  possible
on a Series 500), tangle, weave etc and also for dviplus (the  LaserJet+
driver).  I have nearly finished a C version of the LaserJet driver.

We also have a program to convert  LaserJet+  soft  fonts into TeX pixel
files so that TeX can use them.

Does anybody want this stuff.....should I post it.....mod.sources???

P.S.  For those who don't  know; TeX was  written  in WEB (a system  for
      structured  documentation)  which  can  build  either  the  Pascal
      program,  or create a  beautiful  TeX  document  for  printing.  A
      change  file is used  to  modify  the  WEB  file  for  any  system
      dependencies.
