I'll repeat an earlier message re TeX for the 3b1.  There's a package
called "web2c" available by anonymous FTP from ics.uci.edu, in the pub
area.  Web2c provides the capability to take the TeX WEB language
source code, translate it into C, which then compiles without incident
on a 3b1 using the stock compiler.  The TeX WEB code is also sitting
there on ics.uci.edu.  Using web2c, you can build TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX,
Metafont.  The only thing you don't have is the dvi previewer and the
dvi drivers that Ed Hepler (elh at vu-vlsi) distributes.
