I have it from reliable sources that the IBM port of TeX 2.95 is now
available as a product, at least domestically. Take the following to
your local rep.:
			PRPQ P91068
			Program number 5799-DRR

Numerous people, though, have reported successful porting of the 3.0
distribution from labrea.stanford.edu (don't use ANSI prototypes and
some string function definitions may be incorrect)...
