Get 3.1. It works. 3.0 is badly busted. I had the same problem. I had a little tweaking to do. If you want my installation, I will send it to you. I made a courtsey donation to the U of Washington instead of the distribution fee when I get my copy from colleague.

If you look at the "site.h" file in the UNIX TeX3.0 distribution which is right now on Labrea, you will see that there is a place where you must #define or typedef "schar" to get signed chars. The MIPS C compiler will (ordinarily) keep chars unsigned. I kept on getting one word/page until I changed that. After I changed it, it worked fine. Also: what's all this about 3.1? I checked labrea.stanford.edu (or whatever) and didn't see it a couple of weeks ago. -- {These opinions are mine, and should be everybody else's :-)} Mark Galassi rosalia@dirac.physics.sunysb.edu rosalia@sunysbnp.BITNET
