For a long time I have tried to get the X Window TeX previewer 'texx2.8'
up on our HPs that run the HP-UX version of X11R2.  Unfortunately,
it doesn't help if I use Xaw, Xmu and Xt from the X11R3 distribution.
Even if I can get 'texx2' to compile by rewriting the source code and
fixing what seem to be bugs in it, it will not link irrespective of
in what order I specify the X libraries.  

Is there a later version of 'texx2' that is less broken(?) and that
works on HP 9000/300 and 800 series machines?  I would appreciate
a copy e-mailed to bt@irfu.se.  In the meantime, I have started to send
out the streamer cassettes with the HP TeX to those of you who contacted
me.  I am very sorry about the long delay, but the problems with 'texx2'
(and the time I have to spend on my research project) has prevented
me from sending it out earlier.

BTW, TeX proper now fits on a 16 MB streamer but TeX+METAFONT does not.
