I had once posted that I was successfully running Common TeX 3.0 BETA on
a 386 machine without tweaking. Well, I was wrong -- I had done a bit of
tweaking, and forgotten about it.

While Common TeX 3.0 BETA seems quite nice, and works as-is on at least
Suns, I am delving into it a bit more and have found that I'd like to do
quite a bit more of tweaking to speed it up and reduce memory
consumption, and eliminate some portability probalems. I have been
corresponding with the author, Pat Monardo, and will post again on this
subject when the tweaking process is done.
