I am having trouble compiling TeX under SUN 4.0. I believe I have the latest
version of tex82, although it is hard to tell. I am running SUN 4.0 with the
SUN 1.1 Pascal compiler (Unbundled).
What seems to happen is that the pascal compiler does not compile the
same code that the SUN 3.4 Pascal compiled perfectly.
Does anyone have sources specifically for SUN 4.0? Can anyone tell me that
I need to do? Do I need to patch Pascal?
Thanks In Advance

I'd hate someone to say this to me, but, if you can find the $$, ArborText will send you a tape that with a postscript spooler and screen previewer and misc other stuff. It took me about an hour to install. It would have taken five minutes if I hadn't been overcautious. We have Sun-2's, no 3's, now converting to 4's. LaTeX always seemed to me to be a dog (in speed, not otherwise). It zips on the 4. With Preview one can page around a 250 page document as fast as I can with hardcopy. (So then I spent hours and hours gathering, recompiling, etc our various other goodies collected from rochester, score, ......that we need too.) I hate not having source, but, if your employer values your time, pays benefits etc., ArborText may be less expensive, as well as very good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Langdon L-472 langdon@lll-lcc.llnl.gov Physics Department 339650%d@nmfecc.arpa Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA 94550 (415) 422-5444 UUCP: ..{,qantel,ucdavis,pyramid,harvard,topaz}!lll-lcc!langdon

re: TeX on SunOS 4.0 Assuming you have access to the internet, grab the UNIX TeX distribution from score.stanford.edu and june.cs.washington.edu (or send $150 to McKay at U. Washington). This version contains Web-2-C. It converts TeX to C, which I've compiled on our SunOS 4.0 system, using both Sun `cc' and Gnu `gcc' (`gcc' is still better than SunOS `cc'). For postscript output, grab ``dvips.shar'' from labrea.stanford.edu, the latest release from rokicki. Handles psfig, TeXpic and built-in fonts. Installs with no hassles. For slightly more hassles, grab ``pub/TeX/iptex.tar.Z'' from a.cs.uiuc.edu. This contains texsun, a Sun previewer that works on SunOS 4.0, SPARC & 68000 machines (although not the 386 yet). The latest version (when I update the tar file) contains outline psfig boxes, allows you to mark pages & print them and a few other widgets. And with all of that, you get source.
