In my UROP as a student developer for Distributed Computing and
Network Services, I will be working on projects related to the support
for the \TeX\ and La\TeX\ typesetting programs and related software in
the Athena user environment.

My first task will be to obtain and compile the latest versions of
\TeX\ for all current Athena platforms, which will fix several
problems with Athena's current version.  This task will also include
installing La\TeX\ and other relevant macro packages.  These upgrades
will be made available in a locker, separate from the normal Athena
release cycle.

I will also build METAFONT, the font generation program for \TeX, and
use it to create 600dpi versions of all fonts commonly used on Athena.
(Currently, Athena printers use 300dpi \TeX\ fonts.)

Further projects may involve work on {\ttt xdvi} previewer for \TeX\ 
 and {\ttt dvips} DVI-to-PostScript converter and other
related software; the details will be determined as the term
progresses.
