Has anyone ported TeX 3.0 and all of its assorted and sundry pieces to AIX (IBM's wonderful version of almost SYSV)? I am running 2.2.1 on an IBM RT and can't get it to make. If someone has made changes already, I would be mighty 'preciative. Thanks, pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)

Lucky enough we received the new IBM /6000 workstation before I got my hands on the TeX 3.0 sources, so I could port them onto the new AIX version instead of that horrid bug collection called AIX 2.2. The port was absolutely easy. I only had to remove two or three prototypes for sprintf() and everything went fine. I haven't gotten around to running the triptrap test yet, but I've already TeXed a few documents and there were no problems. BTW, the baby really screams. -- Lars Soltau bang: <insert ridiculously long path> Bix: -- no bucks -- smart: space@ncc1701.stgt.sub.org Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, where dreams come true: Heaven is Eleven!
