After a disastrous weekend of trying to get even the simplest documents
through SCRIBBLE (Mark of the Unicorn) on the IBM-PC, I would like to
abandon SCRIBBLE entirely.  Besides a severe lack of functionality, it
is full of bugs (at least the version distributed from CMU), some of
which crash the PC while printing.  No fun.  Does anyone know of a port
of TEX to the IBM-PC?  We are running a PC-XT with 640K.  The current
printer is a Radio Shack DMP400 which has 7 fonts plus graphics.
