If someone who knows their way around make and compile of unix programs on
DOS, please consider porting the following:

MAXIMA (Symbolic Manipulation)

R-language (statistics, aka R-console)

Octave, Scilab or Freemat (matrix language)

PDFTeX (Typesetting Markup Language, PDF standalone creator)

I use a plain text Unix Bash shell ISP that has all of these programs without
graphical components. I have a few legacy reasons to keep using DOS in some
places, and this would be really nice, with all the caveats that is is
obsolete and I am being an insufferable curmudgeon.
