If it's OSF/1, try the web2c +distribution; I know it's buildable from that (though I've never done +it, I just use it). That'll get you the basic Knuthian system and the +utilities that go with it. (If it's VMS, the distribution is *old*, +and I know nothing about TeX for NT.) + +I would also recommend using dvipsk and xdvik to go with it, since +they use the same path-searching library. + +For LaTeX, I would recommend going straight to 2e for a new +installation. If you want to stick with the 2.09, you'll have to go +somewhere other than the archive (cus, which you posted from, stolidly +maintains several variously out-of-date versions, so you could try +there). The minimum installation (imo) is the LaTeX base and the +tools.

The cost + covers copying and postage costs, and the shareware fee for + OzTeX. Each set costs \pounds30, and is available from + Peter Abbott, 1 Eymore Close, Selly Oak, Birmingham B29 4LB. + Cheques must be payable to `UKTUG'. Please note that this + service **is available to UKTUG members only.** + + Each set comes with an installation guide, and (at least) + full TeX and Metafont, a previewer, a PostScript driver, and + CM fonts. Two update disks a year will be sent out + automatically, with the current version of LaTeXe, and other + goodies. A subscription service will be available for + subsequent years. In addition, subscribers can request up to + 3 disks a year with any material from the CTAN archives, but + this will be supplied `as is', without instructions. + + OzTeX and emTeX are also available on disk from TeX Users Group; + mail TUG for details. + +\subsection TeX for the Atari ST + + Enquiries for TeX for the Atari ST etc. can be directed to: + The Fast Club, 7 Musters Road, Nottingham NG2 7PP.
