   I was wondering if someone out there has made a port of TeX to
   a HP9000/xxx of computer.  If so do you have diffs... can I get
   them.

We use the TeX-in-C (CommonTeX?  I can never remember) all the time.
Works great.  Pascal portablity is rather difficult, since some of
the Pascal compilers on the HP9000s come from different ancestors
(HP9000/800 is from the HP3000 family).  C is the safe bet.

I don't have a contact for the source, perhaps some TeX hacker will
reply.
