[comp.sys.amiga.applications] PasTeX question

Netters:


    I just ftp'd pasTeX.lzh (both 1 and 2) from off of
ab20.larc.nasa.gov.  Following the instructions in the readme file, I
assigned TEX: to the directory where pasTeX was unpacked (assigned
TEX: :pastex/tex) and went to build the plain.fmt file by:

 1) cd tex:formats

 2) tex:bin/initex plain \dump

This is what the plain.log file said:


> This is a PD-Version of Pas-TeX (made Jan 30 1991 [br]/[hes])
> This is TeX, C Version 3.1 (INITEX)  28 MAR 1991 22:30

> ! This can't happen (page).

What gives? (I also tried building plain.fmt in the macro directory
where plain.tex resides).

Should I be making assigns that weren't mentioned?

Thanks for any help ....
