If you look into the teTeX sources you'll find plain TeX under teTeX-0.3.3/kpse-2.6/web2c/tex/. You can omit the leading directory if you have another web2c-TeX distribution but the basic direcory structure is always the same for these Unix TeXs. It may also help if you take a look at the way teTeX invokes the kpse-level make process. -Bernd
