ImakeTeX automates much of the installation of UnixTeX.  A stable
version of ImakeTeX (2.01) has been released for TeX 3.1 and MF 2.7.
The aim of the new version is to eliminate the use of features that
are not available in the important Unix implementations.  The approach
used has been to eliminate any feature that does not appear in Draft
10 of POSIX 1.002.

Changes to ImakeTeX include: 

[1] use Karl Berry's "modes.mf".

[2] de-ANSI-fy string_copy() in common/extra.c

[3] change return type of sprintf() to (char *) for Suns.

[4] there's a reset macro defined in common/extra.h, which
	conflicts with its use in mf/MFwindow/sun.c

[5] if mf is to support sunview, link the sunview libraries.

[6] remove uses of double colon in makefiles for System V machines.

ImakeTeX is available via anonymous FTP from june.cs.washington.edu in
the file tex/imaketex201.tar.Z.

Thanks to Tag Guy and others.
