[u3b.misc] TeX on the 3B2

oc@vmp.com (Orlan Cannon) (07/03/90)

"jrogers" asked me for my patches to Web2C to make TeX
run on an AT&T 3B2.  I have been unable to reach him by email.

The 3B2 has segmentation errors in dealing with the odd method
the authors of web2c used to emulate Pascal arrays that do not
begin with the 0th element.  It will compile fine with small TeX
and no optimization, but will die a strange and interesting
(if you like playing Sherlock Holmes) death otherwise.

If "jrogers" (or anyone else who is interested) could contact
me directly, I will again email the patches.

I consider them too sloppy and unprofessional to post, though they
do work.
