I may have missed it, but I haven't seen word of a Unix TeX distribution that has been upgraded to 3.0. But it turns out that I need to install TeX on a new machine, and I would prefer to install 3.0 instead of 2.95. This is for SunOS 4.1, with no pascal compiler available. Can I just grab the 3.0 files from labrea, or haven't the web2c change files been fixed yet? Help, advice, suggestions welcome. david d [zoo] zuhn Univ. of Minnesota Dept. of Astronomy zoo@aps1.spa.umn.edu Automated Plate Scanner Project

you should collect
web2c/web2c-50.0c.tar.Z
web2c/web-5.0b.tar.Z
from labrea.stanford.edu. These are the `official' web2c distributions
for TeX 3.00. Yes, you did miss the announcement....

That is, the entire contents of the sub-directory called pub/tex/unix, on labrea. I just re-checked and this has not been touched since March 14, 1989. I understand that they plan to use Imakefiles as in X as the basis for this new distribution. As far as I know, this distribution has not been completed. Anyone know when?
