For a long time I have tried to get the X Window TeX previewer 'texx2.8' up on our HPs that run the HP-UX version of X11R2. Unfortunately, it doesn't help if I use Xaw, Xmu and Xt from the X11R3 distribution. Even if I can get 'texx2' to compile by rewriting the source code and fixing what seem to be bugs in it, it will not link irrespective of in what order I specify the X libraries. Is there a later version of 'texx2' that is less broken(?) and that works on HP 9000/300 and 800 series machines? I would appreciate a copy e-mailed to bt@irfu.se. In the meantime, I have started to send out the streamer cassettes with the HP TeX to those of you who contacted me. I am very sorry about the long delay, but the problems with 'texx2' (and the time I have to spend on my research project) has prevented me from sending it out earlier. BTW, TeX proper now fits on a 16 MB streamer but TeX+METAFONT does not. --Bo

The problem must stem from using X11R2 - texx2.8 compiled and ran on Sun-3, Sun-4, DEC VAX, PMAX, PC/RT, Encore, Sequent, Iris 4D and a couple of other installations. Try locating a correct X11R3 installation, or clarify what the problem is. The most recent version is something like texx2.9, available from a.cs.uiuc.edu:pub/TeX. The next version will be designed with X11R4 in mind (I hope) and will hopefully be a littler easier to install (ha).
