[comp.text.tex] Tex port for IBM-RS6000 AIX-V3

csmpcl@research.cc.flinders.edu.au (<M.P.C.Legg>) (11/26/90)

Port of Tex required for IBM RS/6000 system running AIX-V3. Has anyone
done this port yet? We have sources but would prefer not to be the first. 
Please reply by email to M.P.C.Legg@cc.flinders.edu.au

It's not that hard.  the main things are to:

	1) use bsdcc (see the "Porting BSD sources to AIX" document on
	   how to set this up).
	
	2) Remember that "char" is unsigned by default, so that the smallest
	   signed value should be "signed char".

Other than that it's a pretty clean installation.
