I have ported Common TeX ver 2.1 to UNIX PC. In fact I took
the code sitting on my AT straight to the UNIX PC running 3.5
and it compiled and passed the trip test without so much as looking
at a line of code. I've been sending the AT version for
a while now and have ported it back to UNIX so that the DOS
and UNIX are completely integrated.
It is back on ucbvax:/pub/ctex21.tar.Z.
This version will pass lint except that i didnt bother to cast
unsigned into int for the libraries.
Also, TeX's memory is NOT limited to  256K or 64K. It simply states that
it is limited by what a halfword will index, e.g., a halfword can be 
(and should be) 32bits.
