LaTex, Bibtex, and plain Tex are available via anonymous ftp from
wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) in the directory  
systems/ibmpc/msdos/tex    The list of files in this directory are:

-read.me.1
00-index.txt.49
bibtex99.arc.1
cdvi12.arc.1
dostex1.arc.1    (6 parts)
dview.arc.2
dvivga.inf.1
dvivga1.arc.1     (9 parts)
hp2tex.arc.1
pcwritex.arc.1
sb29tex.arc.1
unretex.arc.1
web.arc.1
webtp55.arc.1

sb29tex and dostex are the programs you will want.  sb29tex is faster than 
dostex, but does not include all of the fonts or files that are required.
dostex has these files.  I do not use these on msdos, since they run too
slow and take up too much disk space on my plain vanilla IBM-XT.
