Wow! Blast from the past! Sure, @larsbrinkhoff, glad to help if I can :). At least from 1981 or 1982, which is when I wrote the yTeX macros, we were running TeX82, both driving the XGP and an AlphaGraphics typesetter at Stanford. At least one of PHW's books was produced that way.

Thanks @ancientHacker! That confirms MIT had both the SAIL and the Pascal versions running.
