Can anyone give me some advice before attempting to get
these going on 10.2?  For example, what is the minimum
set of files I need to get LaTeX going?  I don't want
to grab it all.  Is the LaTeX intallation documentation
all I need to know to get it running, or do I need
some special tips?  Better yet, are the binaries available?
What about a machine defs file for Kyoto?

My past experience has been somewhat negative on making
things work on the Apollo.  I even got the binaries for
GNU emacs once (for 10.1) but the system said it wasn't
a valid object file.  At other times I tried compiling
a system using "make" but the syntax/options/etc? for cc
are non-"standard".  Am I off in left field?  I've never
had these problems with Digital.  (No offense intended.)
There just doesn't seem to be any Apollo guys around here
to ask such questions.
