Tex is available for all of the above. The VMS version is freeware,
from C code available via anonymous ftp. Presumably you could port
the code to your favorite PC, but you'd need a tremendous amount of
RAM to compile it (especially for the printer drivers). Already-compiled
versions are available commercially for MS-DOS, MAC's, amigas, and
presumably other PC's as well.
