  • Pure DOS versions of quant/tek stuff

    I know there are versions of PDFTEX(W2C), OCTAVE, R-console,Maxima that run
    on plain-text bash unix shells. I one case asking for a plot said that part
    was not installed. Cool. Maybe I'm just an old codger (59) but are there pure-dos versions of such software?

    I have an old MS-DOS generic (no GUI) machne used 1985-95 and I haven't used
    it since y2k, but am kinda nostalgic. Plus I can see reasons for it in the future.

    Yes, look at Web2C and friends on DJGPP sites.
