[comp.text.tex] TeX 3.0 on VM/CMS

samitha@matt.ksu.ksu.edu (Samitha Amarasiri) (07/11/90)

Does anyone out there have a working version of TeX 3.0 for VM/CMS?

I have been trying to port the files at labrea.stanford.edu, and have
been meeting with little success.

We have TeX 2.93 over here. We are running VSPascal version 2.0 under
CMS release 5.5.

names of ftp/bitnet sites from where I can get files needed for 
upgrading to any version above 2.93 are also welcome.

A port has been made and will be available through the standard
distribution channels shortly. I am expecting to get a copy of
the relevant files from Joachim Lammarsch who is the current
VM/CMS site coordinator any day now and will make them available
from ymir.claremont.edu when that happens. In the mean time, if
you are in a rush to get TeX 3.0 up and running, you can contact
Dean Guenther (guenther@wsuvm1.bitnet) about getting the files
via bitnet.
