clio has the sources and executable for TeX, along with some PK format
font files for the screen previewer, and .FMT and .STY files for LaTeX.
It does -not- have the DVIST screen previewer or anything to let you
print DVI files on either an Epson or a laser printer.  The read-me files
along with these mention repeatedly that DVIST and the Epson printer program
are both available "elsewhere".

Could someone please explain where I might find these?

Without either a DVI viewer or a printer driver, TeX on a ST is a bit
useless, since you have to upload your DVI file to another system to print
it or read it.  You might just as well upload the TeX file and TeX it there...
