--------------

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,
that is, the pre-March 1991 version of TeX which is on
labrea.stanford.edu.  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.  (Well, soon I hope!)
