That's interesting. I wonder how it was ported - presumably via the
Pascal compiler.
I did web2C-based ports to Classic MacOS (inside MPW) and Inmos
Transputer; I'd have thought pdp-11 was quite a bit too small for TeX.
If you recall any more details, I'd be interested - I might attempt a
new PDP-11 port.

It ran a lot better, of course, on a VAX.
Word processing doesn't get any better than TeX, I still use
it under Linux.
