Is there anyone in australia who has a copy of CTeX, Common TeX,
or some other variant of TeX written in C. A recent posting to the net about
Unix TeX available from northwest computer center was a red herring:
it's a WEB implementation which translates into pascal.

There seems to be a few C implementations of TeX around, but they are all
shrouded in an abstruse mythology which becomes more abstruse the more you try
to grab hold of the product.
