[comp.text.tex] Weaving problem.

JJDAVIS@cc.utah.edu (09/18/90)

I'm trying to 'weave' the dvitype.web program from labrea.stanford.edu,
but I get a TeX error.  No doubt I'm missing something elementary, but
the man page and Chapter 6 of Sewell's "Weaving a Program" haven't
lead to enlightenment...
