Dear netters,

I am having a problem installing TEX3.0.

We have a Convex C220 running Convex UNIX 8.1.  When I tried to 'undump'
either TeX or LaTeX, I was given "a.out file doesn't have legal magic
number".  The 'undump' source code was given with the TeX distribution.

This is what happened:
%initex plain
*\dump
%
%virtex \&plain
*control-\
%
%undump tex virtex core
%a.out file doesn't have legal magic number

I am not sure whether the problem lies with the magic number of 'virtex' or
with the 'undump' program itself.

BTW, I could not find any '#define UPAGES ...' at all in the filesystem.
I wonder what is the UPAGES on your system.  Due to its absence, I defined
UPAGES to be 8.  Is that ok?

Thanks in advance.

Hanafiah
