Not so. Runs fairly well on similar machines. DRI evern did a version
of tex for CP/M. Have the manual and software.
I'm halfway through reading 'TeX : The program', and I'm supprised
it'll
run on a CP/M machine. It's possible, I suppose. On this machine the
binary for virtex (The normal version) is about 180K, and then it needs a
bit of data space for various tables on top of that.
Personally I used runoff a lot, it was quite fast.
