I have the 2ed sources, but they are on an ATA disk that stopped spinning
up a few years ago, so I can't check.
But 20 years later, there is no TeX, so the manpages should be updated.

why mot have tex(1) manpage which states that rex is not included by default but gives a weblink for a recommended tex package, e.g. kertex, which is tested on an9.
this manpage would then be overwritten by the tex installation.
everyone happy (unlikely)

If someone makes a port for some TeX package that does this I would be okay
with it. Knowing that certainly won't happen unless I do it, the references
really just should be nuked. If a package doesn't ship with 9front it
shouldn't be in they system's manpages.

What entitles you to think that?

do i need some form of entitlement to think?
i always regarded myself as empowered to think anything i like, by virtue of my existence as a sentient being..
unless you are telling me this is all a nightmare, and in the real world plan9 is the dominant operating system, following linus and bill’s acceptance of its clear superiority.
who knows, existentialism is hard to disprove.

I started this mess and I'm sorry for that. Although it's not perfect, I
took the package kurt linked (tex.iso.bz2) and have adjusted the build a
bit and it is now stuffed in ports. Like steve said, there is also kertex.
Cheers,
Sean
