I've obtained, installed, and am using a package called 'emTeX', put 
together by Eberhard Mattes. This is available on a few ftp sites, but
I can't remember where I got it. The documentation mentions:
rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de
terminator.cc.umich.edu

The documentation is not intended for someone who is not familiar with
Tex or LaTeX, but you can set it up and have it working relatively
easily. It also includes MetaFont, PiCTeX and TeXcad, plus DVI drivers
for a host of printers and lasers ( and VGA screens )

It is intended for plain MS-DOS, and  benifits enormously from disk caching.

Hope this helps.
