- There is a TeX for VMS called DECUS TeX (vs0058). The last version I know of is
- spring '91. It is becoming a bit old these days. You may want to get hold of a
- more modern Unix version and port it to VMS (using the Unix change files and C
- makes it easy). I mention this because our TeX has run out of space when trying
- to use NFSS (the new font selection scheme), dc fonts and multiple hyphenation
- patterns. So I'm looking high and low for a cheap Unix/MSDOS/VMS compatible
- TeX distribution (As long as I can read the files I can get this working under
- VMS). If DECUS is about to release a new version of DECUS TeX I would very much
- like to know.
