Hi folks. I am new to the TeX world and looking to learn.
I need information on two topics:
1) Is anybody using TeX with an LN03 ?
If so any opinions, horror stories, words from the
wise, "hi how are you's" would be appriciated.
2) Is anyone running TeX under TOPS-10 ?
I have a distribution tape for TOPS-20 and have
Tangle and Weave running, but am having trouble
getting TeX up. I could use a change file.
Bye folks.

Your problem is probably that you are printing the .LN3 file without specifying /NOFEED in the print command. This has the effect of inserting <FF> when VMS thinks that the end of a page is near. Also you will need to set up the device as PASTHRU in order that all the control sequences get through without VMS molesting them. We have been using TeX with an LN03 under VMS for several months and get good results. One caveat though, you will need to buy at least one and preferably two RAM cartridges if you want to set anything fancy. Nigel (...ukc!btnix!titley) "Reason is out to lunch"
