Hello again.

About a week ago, I asked if anyone knew where I could find some TeX
previewers, in particular for the 5620 DMD and the PC7300.  I got quite
a few responses about where to find some files, as well as a lot more
people asking me to disclose the whereabouts of this great stuff.
No problem!  (Please note I haven't checked the validity of all the
locations and/or the code itself.)

Harvard Townsend (harv at ksuvax1.cis.ksu.edu) reports a complete
release of TeX, LaTeX, and a previewer for the AT&T 7300 Unix PC
available from hotel.cis.ksu.edu (129.130.10.12) via anonymous FTP.
Several files are there, all in "cpio -c" format.  Look in
pub/toolchest/ctex.  I've checked this stuff; there's a lot there!

Eric Herrin (eric at ms.uky.edu) also has a previewer for the 3B1
(almost a 7300 ;-) via anonymous FTP from e.ms.uky.edu in
ftp/archive/text/TeXpreviewer as preview.tar.Z.  Eric warns,
however, that this one has no documentation.

Eduardo Krell (ekrell at ulysses.att.com) has given me the location
of a previewer for the 5620 DMD.  Again, just anonyous FTP to
cs.washington.edu and grab pub/dmd.tar.Z.

Finally, Solveig Whittle (att!ttrde!sol) has a previewer for
the 630 MTG (the successor of the 5620 DMD).  Drop him a note
for some info on this.

Thanks to everyone who helped out on this!  For those who will
brave the Internet in search of a better TeX previewer, I
salute you!
