re: TeX on SunOS 4.0

Assuming you have access to the internet, grab the UNIX TeX distribution
from score.stanford.edu and june.cs.washington.edu (or send $150 to
McKay at U. Washington).

This version contains Web-2-C. It converts TeX to C, which I've compiled
on our SunOS 4.0 system, using both Sun `cc' and Gnu `gcc' (`gcc' is still
better than SunOS `cc').

For postscript output, grab ``dvips.shar'' from labrea.stanford.edu, the
latest release from rokicki. Handles psfig, TeXpic and built-in fonts.
Installs with no hassles.

For slightly more hassles, grab ``pub/TeX/iptex.tar.Z'' from a.cs.uiuc.edu.
This contains texsun, a Sun previewer that works on SunOS 4.0, SPARC & 68000
machines (although not the 386 yet). The latest version (when I update the
tar file) contains outline psfig boxes, allows you to mark pages & print
them and a few other widgets.

And with all of that, you get source.
