Contact Robert Morris (RAM@MIT-MC) for information on the old Pascal version of TEX. Metafont is written in Sail, which only runs on 10s and 20s. However, we (Stanford) are currently bringing up a new TEX-82 written in a language called WEB, which can be passed through a preprocessor to get C. This should lead to a more effecient version. The current one is incredibly slow, even on a large Vax-11/780. -- Bill -------
