[comp.text.tex] The VMS change file bug is fixed

dhosek@sif.claremont.edu (Hosek, Donald A.) (05/29/90)

I've just fixed the change file bug. Apologies to all those who
couldn't get the files during the maintenance time. If your copy
of the change file does not have a version number of 3.1a, you
have a defective version and should get the new change file.

I'm working with VMS 5.2 and PASCAL 3.9.  Since I don't have PASCAL
4.0, I got tex.obj and linked it, but I can't get it to work. The
problem described above sounds suspiciously like the problem I'm
having.  (When I try to run TeX it "can't find" any format files, even
if I specify one explicitly, and when I try to run IniTex it "can't
find" tex.pool.)  

Does ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.sources.tex3_0]tex.obj contain
the necessary changes?  Has anyone else had this problem?  Has anyone else 
in the same situation gotten TeX running?
