You can ftp TeX-in-C from june.cs.washington.edu, but TeX source is not
much good (read: hardly any good) without the fonts and the macros. So
the best idea is to get a full Unix dist tape. Here is the info:

=====
How to order:

To order a full distribution of TeX, send $100.00 (foreign sites
$110.00, to cover the extra postage) payable to the University of
Washington to:

	Pierre A. MacKay
	Northwest Computer Support Group, DW-10
	University of Washington
	Seattle, Washington 98195

The normal distribution is a tar tape, blocked 20, 1600 bpi. If you
need 1/4 in streamer cartridges for the SUN, be sure to tell us.
Although we have had problems previously with cartridge tapes, we can
usually hope to get them out quite fast now.

The price may have gone up since this TUGBOAT announcement, so I would
check first.
