Have just tried to compile the drivers for recent posting of tex in this group.
Seems that either the file 'findfile.h' is missing or I missed something.

Does anyone know if there is a reasonable version of TeX/LaTeX for SCO Xenix/386?

The source I posted a while ago should run fine on SCO Xenix/386 since it even runs on SCO Xenix/286. But the C-version straight of the Tex distribution tape (if it's on there...) should compile and run fine. In theory you need an "undump" program for creating a preloaded version of Tex, but more and more people just ignore that since loading the plain format only takes a few seconds anymore.

Check with the University of Warshington. Has 9 track (lot'sa utilities) of C source for TeX, LaTex, ect. About a couple of hundred bucks. Written for SUN but can be compiled in Bell Tech. or Xenix with a litter persuation. John ..uunet!smosjc!john Mail me if you need address and contact ..

Can any one tell me where one can find a pd TEX. Will this TEX out perform troff and family of preprocessors. Erol uunet!quame!erol

Does anyone have explicit instructions for installing TeX under Xenix? I have the files on my machine, but I can't get the make file to run. David Jaffe (jaffe@hoss.unl.edu) Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Nebraska, Lincoln

This comes in two pieces. One is web2c itself and the other is the tex.web source. I picked up both pieces via anonymous ftp from ics.uci.edu (128.195.1.1) in /TeX. The files are called web-5.0b.tar.Z and web2c-5.0c.tar.Z. (These are unpacked by saying `zcat web-5.0b.tar.Z | tar xvf -' and `zcat web2c-5.0c.tar.Z | tar xvf -'.) After unpacking you have directory web2c. Read all the `readme's and `install's. Edit the Makefile and site.h files to your taste (look at the default search path directories in site.h). Use `CC=gcc -traditional -m80387' in the Makefile if you have gcc otherwise CC=cc. You will also have to edit the file web/Makefile instructions on how to make tangle.p (Xenix does not like the shell "until ..." syntax used). It should read simply: tangle.p: tangle.web tangle.ch $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o tangle tangleboot.c tanglext.c tangle tangle.web tangle.ch You should now be able to type make. It will only take an hour or two, but everything should compile cleanly. (I do `make |& tee make.out' so I can see it work and save the results.) * * * Okay, now you have initex and virtex (in web2c/tex). What now? Well, this is a fine mess. You now need plain.tex, hyphen.tex, and a complete set of *.tfm files and *.pk font files and dvi2whatever programs! Let's assume you have all this (some of which is available from labrea.stanford.edu (36.8.0.47) in /pub/tex/lib,* (you have to look)). Move, copy, or link the plain.tex and hyphen.tex files to the TEXINPUTS directory, the *.tfm files to the TEXFONTS directory, and the tex.pool file to the TEXPOOL directory as defined in site.h (remember site.h?, ...). Run `initex plain' this creates plain.fmt. Move, copy, or link plain.fmt to the TEXFORMATS directory. Link virtex to tex in your /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. Now run `tex' on a suitable .tex file. You now have a .dvi file which must to translated via a dvi2XXX program to print on your favorite XXX printer. This should get you started.
