Okay everybody.... I have been trying to get a PD version of TeX going for a while now. I have gotten two different versions of TeX in C under two different C compilers to pass the trip test. The problem is that both compilers get too buggy after the sizes of arrays get too big. I posted a bug report for MWC 3.0 last week. TeX just will not run with arrays set up to handle plain.tex or lplain.tex. I have nearly given up on the compilers and I am going to compile the sources on a Sun with gcc and assemble the resulting assembly code on the ST's. I'd like to hear a better solution, but this seems to be the only solution at this time. How debugged has Manx C become? Anybody out there care to discuss this? When I tried it on TeX, it was somewhat buggy in the 'Portability' mode. -Greg -- Greg Onufer GEnie: G.ONUFER University of the Pacific UUCP: -= Focus Semiconductor =- exodus@mfgfoc ...!sun!daver!mfgfoc!exodus (and postmaster/exodus@uop.edu) AT&T: 415-965-0604 USMAIL: #901 1929 Crisanto Ave, Mtn View, CA 94040
