Has anybody compiled TeX 3.0 on the DEC risc platforms yet? Is the source in web? There is no pascal compiler and even if there is it would be silly to buy just to compile TeX! Is there an easy way to have it on 3100's? Reha Elci

The Unix TeX distribution compiles under Ultrix; all compilation is handled through automatic conversion to C, and since I presume the C compiler under Ultrix is compatible between the DECstation and VAX architectures, you should have no problems. The Unix TeX distribution may be FTP'd from several sites, but I suggest that people order the tape and pay the low service charge since those funds are used to support the Unix TeX support group (which provides phone support and works to collect and improve the Unix TeX software).
