Just out of curiousity, since I was looking at TeX book B, the program, I wondered how out of date it was. Does anyone know how many patches it would take to go from the published book to current releases? woolstar@csvax.caltech.edu

The current version of TeX is version 2.98. Most likely, your copy lists version 2.0. Only a few minor changes account for the 17 or so bug fixes (some of which are fixes to fixes) and they are listed in the file TEX.BUG which may be FTP'd from score.stanford.edu. If you're trying to understand what's going on in TeX, your book will be quite sufficient as it stands. Likewise if you're going to do some hacking on TeX. If you REALLY want an up-to-date listing, you can FTP the source from score and run it through WEAVE and TeX to get the 500 page listing, but you won't have neat things like the mini-indexes on each page and memory diagram at the end. -dh
