I recently FTPed tex.web and tex.vms-changes from ymir.claremont.edu.
Running these files through Tangle produces the error:
This is TANGLE, Vax/VMS Version 4
*1*17*25*38*54*72*99*110*115*133*162*173*199*203*207*211*220*256*268*289*297*300

! Change file entry did not match. (change file l.574)

Writing the output
file.....500.....1000.....1500.....2000.....2500.....3000.....3500.....4000.....
4500.....5000.....5500....
Done.
1040 strings written to string pool file.
(Pardon me, but I think I spotted something wrong.)
I did happen to notice that the version number defined in the banner
of tex.web is 3.1, the version number defined in the banner of
tex.vms-changes is 3.0. Could this be the problem? Compiling
tex.pas produced by the Tangle session above produces errors on
WRITELN(TERMOUT); statements. TERMOUT is defined to be an ALPHAFILE,
ALPHAFILE is a PACKED FILE OF CHAR. VAX Pascal wants TERMOUT to be
a file of TEXT. (BTW, I'm using VAX Pascal v4.0-2.) Any ideas?
Sal.

Gee, I only got the new WEB last Friday, you know. Anyway, the change file as of about ten minutes ago is updated. Also involved is a minor update to the change file and cld (there is a new parameter /eight_bit which can be used to force creation of fmt files which will use ^^c0 through ^^ff rather than simply printing those characters. (Technical difficulties have prevented this being a TeX rather than IniTeX feature in this release.) I intend to update the other change files as time permits.. -dh btw, I believe that the VMS TeX distribution has just set a new release-to-implementation record for an update to TeX.
