I recently FTPed tex.web and tex.vms-changes from ymir.claremont.edu.
Running these files through Tangle produces the error:

This is TANGLE, Vax/VMS Version 4
*1*17*25*38*54*72*99*110*115*133*162*173*199*203*207*211*220*256*268*289*297*300
*321*332*366*402*464*487*511*539*583*592*644*680*699

! Change file entry did not match. (change file l.574)
\def\drop{\kern-.1667em\lower.5ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125em} % middle of TeX

Writing the output
file.....500.....1000.....1500.....2000.....2500.....3000.....3500.....4000.....
4500.....5000.....5500....
Done.
1040 strings written to string pool file.
(Pardon me, but I think I spotted something wrong.)

I did happen to notice that the version number defined in the banner
of tex.web is 3.1, the version number defined in the banner of
tex.vms-changes is 3.0. Could this be the problem? Compiling
tex.pas produced by the Tangle session above produces errors on
WRITELN(TERMOUT); statements. TERMOUT is defined to be an ALPHAFILE,
ALPHAFILE is a PACKED FILE OF CHAR. VAX Pascal wants TERMOUT to be
a file of TEXT. (BTW, I'm using VAX Pascal v4.0-2.) Any ideas?

Sal.
