  I am not familiar with the Unix PC, but would like to get TeX running
  on a 3B2/400 running SysV. I have the Pascal public domain version, and
  haven't tried it yet, as the flyer that came with it sounded like it
  wouldn't be easy. The C version sounds more reasonable (I would rather
  look at C than Pascal), but what would be the difficulties? Does TeX
  have low level hooks, or could I port the Common Tex that worked on the
  Unix PC? If you have tried and failed, please speak up also! ;-)
  Also, if you want the C version, how can you get it? (No ftp access) 
			Thanks, it will eventually be on SysV,
