Hi there.
I've been using TeX on the mainframe for a few months now,
and I decided that it would be nice to a copy running on my
PC as well. So I ftp'ed sb30tex.zip from SIMTEL, unzipped,
installed it, and run initex, all this following (I think)
the directions of the .doc file.
But when I try to run TeX I get the following error message:
(fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
which, I gather, signifies a format file for a different version
of sbtex. So I checked, but the plain.tex file indicates version
3.0, i.e. the same as the program I'm running. Could anybody help?
I would greatly appreciate it. (I hope I've provided enough
information, if not, e-mail me.)
SInce we're at it, one more question: does anybody have any
pointers to a dvi driver for the IBM Proprinter? (Quality is
obviously not a concern here: I would use for drafts.)
Thanks a lot.
