I have compiled the recently posted CommonTex sources on AUX. This
gives INITEX, which seems to work fine. The compile has no problems,
except that -D_SYSV_SOURCE was needed for fileio.c. I looked at the
sources and, yes, a readible, portable, modifiable TeX ! By the way,
I used the most recent gcc from wuarchive.wustl.edu.

There is one problem, however. CommonTeX dumps the formats as core
images, which then have to be processed by undump. I do not have
an undump for A/UX, and the one distributed with Unix TeX do not
seem to work. Anybody who can help out ?
