I got tex.web via ftp from sun.soe.clarkson.edu to upgrade our systems
to 2.95, but there were no change files to go with it. Does anyone know
where the complete distribution (or just web2c) of the new TeX is? I
tried washington and stanford as well, but they still seem to have 2.93.
I don't think I'm jumping the gun, TeXhax indicates 2.95 is the current
version in general distribution. Thank you.

Last weekend I tried building TeX 2.95 using the latest .web files from
score.stanford.edu and change files for version 2.93 from the latest
(as far as I know) web2c distribution (from june.cs.washington.edu).
I had no problems at all after making just one trivial change
(2.93 -> 2.95 in one line in the change file that referred to "banner").
Likewise for building metafont, all the texware programs and all the
metafontware programs (for which I web2c change files) execpt "pktogf",
for which I got one error message from tangle which I didn't easily see
how to fix (a complaint about "text_char" already being defined).

In general, all you should need to do to update your change files is modify a few sections (generally those with the banner where the version number is given). I think that upgrading from the 2.93 changes to the 2.95 changes should be trivial. -dh
