Also check out the sbtex package. Two places I have seen it are
venus.yale.edu and wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (I think).
It doesn't come with LaTeX macros---you have to get those yourself
from somewhere like score.stanford.edu or sun.soe.clarkson.edu.
Also make sure you have the fonts and tfm files LaTeX needs.
The method of making lplain.fmt is not explained, but it is
similar to that of making plain.fmt.
