I'm trying to learn Knuth's TeX text formatting program (no flames, please.
It's too late to change now). I'm not satisfied with the TeX implementation
I have (PCTeX, which is a nice package, but I tend to require very
obscure features that are too bizarre to standard). What I'm looking for
are PD device drivers (DVI -> HP LaserJet, for instance), and METAFONT
programs, font sources. Desperation may force me to copy it out of
Knuth's books, but I'd like to avoid that. Finally, does any one have
any comments on the TeX source code from the Austin Code Works? It's
$170, but includes TeX, printer drivers, and fonts. Thanks!

P.S. This is for an IBM AT or compatible, with Microsoft C 5.0/5.1.
