Hi,

Common-TeX can be found from tukki.jyu.fi (128.214.7.5). There are both
sources and binaries (CommonTeX.tar.Z.? for sources and sttex.arc for
binaries). There is also a previewer for ST. 

I have ST-TeX from Tools ltd in my ST. It is amazingly fast! I ran a little
test. Text was a TUGboat article with many, many defs. Times were:

  OSBORNE 6T   (8Mhz)  (0 wait state)    about  3min 30s  PC-TeX 
   - a PC/AT clone
  MAC II       (~8Mhz)                     ''   3min 03s  TEXTURES
! ATARI ST     (8Mhz)                      ''   1min 40s  ST-TeX    !!!!!
  Sun4                                     ''   0min 30s  C-TeX 2.9
   - CPU time
  HP9000/319   (16Mhz)                     ''   0min 33s  C-TeX 2.9
   - CPU time


 Question: Where could I ftp METAFONT for my ST!!!
