not having seen Phil's message, I am not sure what the concern is.

the CD has a runnable system for Unix x 5, Linux x 2 and Win32. it
also has 3 canned systems (CMacTeX, emTeX and djgpptex). the bulk of
the CD is the texmf tree which is set up to work with web2c 7.3.

- no there is nothing for VMS, BBC Basic, VM/CMS, MVS and
  similar dead systems
- win31 users have emTeX or djgpptex
- OS/2 users have emTeX
- Free BSD, NeXT and Amiga people -- sorry guys, maybe another time
- MikTeX aficionadoes -- sorry. no space.
