Not so. Runs fairly well on similar machines. DRI evern did a version
of tex for CP/M. Have the manual and software.
Personally I used runoff a lot, it was quite fast.

Are you sure the program is the same? I had heard that the name was the same
but the software was actually completely different.
Does the manual give credit to Donald Knuth? Does it descirbe the algorithms
that DRI used? what output format does the program generate?

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.
