Common TeX 2.9 is available. I decided not to wait for METAFONT to release it. The diffs for the trip test now show only Memory usages errors. This is acceptable since the memory layout differs from TeX. So Common TeX now is 100% byte compatible with TeX. Considering that Common TeX has been working for over a year, it shouldnt be surprising that the errors were mostly inconsequential. I also modified TeX to be based on a 256 character input set. This is important since most TeXnicians should be studying and programming in APL. pat

I ftp'ed commontex.tar.Z from ucbvax.berkeley.edu this morning (3/7/88) and it seems this is still the old version. The README file is the same and the size of the .tar file is also the same as the one I have for v.2.1. Is there another ftp site that I don't know about ?

Pat ? > oops. after posting the last letter I decided to fix METFONT. Since it took around 3 hours to fix Common TeX, I figured...wrong. So anyway, I have METAFONT working very, very well. There seems to be only one problem but its a good one. Common TeX is not yet available for FTP. I goofed. Is there anyone at Stanford willing to read a SUN tape and place it up for distribution? pat
