The computer program AmigaTeX is a port of Knuth's typesetting program TeX, which was originally written in WEB. To create AmigaTeX, that source was translated to C by Tomas Rokicki. This manual translation was necessary because of the lack of a suitable Pascal compiler for the Amiga computer. When development of AmigaTeX commenced, WEB depended on Pascal and Web2c was not yet an available alternative.
