I've seen references to Xtex now and then over the last few weeks, but I've never heard of it. I use both TeX and X, so it might be of interest. Could someone send me some information? Thanks! Andrew Eichstaedt

I have been having problems with xtex 2.15 under SunOS 4.1. I
compiled it with cc on a Sparc. Attempting to get a "Large" view of
the display results in a bus error or segmentation violation (it
changes), and quitting (from the page display) without looking at
other pages also causes the same errors. This all worked just fine
under SunOS 4.0.3. i have X patches 1-14 installed. Does anyone else
have similar problems or know what to do about it?

aha - now I remember. Some version of xtex 2.15.x didn't work because of a Dumb Mistake on my part. It was fixed in a later version. Certainly grabbing 2.16.x from foobar.colorado.edu:pub/SeeTeX would be a good idea. If you still have problems, send mail.

I am interested in talking to people who are using xtex; I am experimenting with various fonts and would like to compare notes. In particular, I am having trouble getting xtex and metafont to cooperate on 12 point fonts, and I could use some expert help. Please reply to jeremy@math.uic.edu.
