Summary: TeX on a 3B2 - is it really possible?

In the Univ. of Wash. distribution of TeX there are installation scripts for
SYS_V, in particular the AT&T 3B2. Unfortunately, you still need to run this on
a BSD Unix box, and still ned up with file names greater than 14 chars long.
I ran the scripts on a Sun, but still am left with the task of writing a sed
script to convert all references to long names to 14 char names.
	While I will never have the source to Berkeley pxp, I have gotten CTEX
to compile (just split the long switch into two halves ...), how do I install
the distribution so as to use CTEX? Any one out there have mf84, etc., installed
on a 3B2 (/400) ? Anyone named Salkind able to explain the details for those of us without BSD source, and the skill (or time) to disassemble compilers ? It
would be greatly appreciated - and can be done via anonymous FTP.
