	Hi, 
	
		I have some questions about xtex.

	0. Is necessary the tex82 programm (30 Mb source), for work
	   with xtex.

	1. I have the TeXbook from Donald Knuth and the xtex programm
	   but not tex or tex82. Anyway, I want to see and edit .tex
	   files. How I can do?. 

	2. I write the story.tex from TeXbook from start, but if I 
       run xtex story.tex or xtex and after try to open the file.
	   xtex answer me:

	   cannot find postamble
	   Are you sure this is a DVI file?
	   [fopen] Unable to open ``story.tex''

	   If I try to open essential.dvi files another kinds of warning
	   with a final
		   [fopen] Unable to open ``essential.dvi''
       
	   If someone work on xtex, please answer me. Thanks!.

												G. Orlando.
       PS. I know where I take TeX.
