You can get in DJGPP archives, directory > v2apps/tex on SimTel.NET mirrors. i've been using EmTeX for about 2 years, very happily. i have LOVELY hard copies of ALL the docs for damn near everything, thanks to EmTeX. i appreciate the effort involved in compiling the TeX binaries with DJGPP, but is it necessary to repeat the tremendous effort that obviously went into EmTeX, just to prove you can? it is possible that i will compile the DJGPP compatible sources, or use them to, i hope, make a better deskjet driver, but i am a little wary of dropping EmTeX, which i rely on to generate about 300 pages of varied output every day. phil
